In 11-limit just intonation, 11/8 is an undecimal superfourth of about 551.3¢. This interval has also been referred to as the major fourth. Furthermore, as stacks of this interval form a core axis of Alpharabian tuning (see User:Aura/Aura's Ideas on Tonality #11-limit Axis Functionality), it can also be somewhat similarly dubbed the "Alpharabian paramajor fourth" or even the "just paramajor fourth".

This interval is the simplest superfourth in JI, and, falling about halfway between 12edo's perfect fourth and tritone, it is very xenharmonic. As an octave-reduced overtone, it is a basis of consonance in 11-limit JI, alongside the lower odd numbers 9, 7, 5 and 3. It can be found in harmonic series chords such as 4:5:6:7:8:9:10:11:12, sitting somewhere between the much stronger and more familiar consonances of 10 (prime 5) and 12 (prime 3). It is very well-represented in 24edo, making that system especially good for approximations of JI chords involving primes 3 and 11 such as 8:9:11:12.


Approximations by EDOs

Following EDOs (up to 200) contain good approximations[1] of the interval 11/8. Errors are given by magnitude, the arrows in the table show if the EDO representation is sharp (↑) or flat (↓).
