In [[7-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], '''7/5''' is a '''narrow [[tritone]]''' (or '''Huygens' tritone''') measuring about 582.5¢. It is a noticeable 17.5¢ away from the 600¢ half-octave (square root of 2) tritone of [[12edo]] and every even-numbered [[EDO]]. It represents the difference between [[7/4]] and [[5/4]]. While in the context of the harmonic seventh chord, it is rightly recognized as a type of diminished fifth, it can also be argued on the basis of the fact that 7/5 interval is smaller than 600 cents that it acts more as a type of augmented fourth than a diminished fifth- an analysis that is required in cases where this interval occurs in a heptatonic scale that demonstrates [[Wikipedia:Rothenberg propriety|Rothenberg propriety]].

This is one of the reasons why 7/4 can be argued to be a type of "sinth" as opposed to merely a subminor seventh.

7/5 is notable for its low [[Harmonic Entropy|harmonic entropy]], and is often reported to sound more consonant than the half-octave tritone; indeed it appears in the 4:5:6:7 tetrad that forms the basis of consonance in 7-limit JI. Its inversion is [[10/7]], which measures about 617.5¢, and these two septimal tritones differ by the [[superparticular]] interval [[50/49]], about 35.0¢. Systems which temper out 50/49 will equate 7/5 and [[10/7]], usually to the 600¢ half-octave.
