Assuming however pure octaves, 27 has a fifth sharp by slightly more than nine cents and a 7/4 sharp by slightly less, and the same 400 cent major third as 12edo, sharp 13 2/3 cents. The result is that 6/5, 7/5 and especially 7/6 are all tuned more accurately than this.

27edo, with its 400 cent major third, tempers out the diesis of 128/125, and also the septimal comma, 64/63 (and hence 126/125 also.) These it shares with 12edo, making some relationships familiar, and as a consequence they both support augene temperament. It shares with 22edo tempering out 245/243 (allegedly a Bohlen-Pierce comma, yet hear it turns up anyway) as well as 64/63, so that they both support superpyth temperament, with quite sharp "superpythagorean" fifths giving a sharp 9/7 in place of meantone's 5/4.

Though the 7-limit tuning of 27edo is not highly accurate, it nonetheless is the smallest equal division to represent the 7 odd limit both consistently and distinctly--that is, everything in the 7-limit [[Diamonds|diamond]] is uniquely represented by a certain number of steps of 27 equal.
