* 12et (12f val) is lower in relative error than any previous edos in the 3-, 5-, 7-, 11-, 13-, and 19-limit. The next ETs better in those subgroup are 41, 19, 19, 22, 19/19e, and 19egh, respectively.  
12et (12f val) is lower in relative error than any previous edos in the 3-, 5-, 7-, 11-, 13-, and 19-limit. The next ETs doing better in those subgroup are 41, 19, 19, 22, 19/19e, and 19egh, respectively. 12et is even more prominent in the 2.3.5.7.17.19 subgroup, and the next ET that does this better is 72.
