m improved linking, added 3 digits to cent size in the intro to be consistent with the interval table, a better solution would be to reduce all of these phone numbers.

'''38edo''' divides the octave into 38 equal parts of 31.579 [[cent|cents]]. Since 38 = 2*19, it can be thought of as two parallel [[19edo|19edos]]. It [[tempering_out|tempers out]] the same [[5-limit]] commas as [[19edo|19]], namely 81/80, 3125/3072 and 15625/15552. In the [[7-limit]], we can add 50/49, and tempering out 81/80 and 50/49 gives [[Meantone_family|injera temperament]], for which 38 is the [[Optimal_patent_val|optimal patent val]]. In the [[11-limit]], we can add 121/120 and 176/175.
