| This interval is of note because it is an approximation of a relatively simple [[JI]] interval in the [[17-odd-limit]]- specifically, one created from stacking the Ptolemaic Minor Second and the Tendomean Minor Second.
| This interval is of note because it is utilized in approximations of the [[17-odd-limit]]; what's more, it is also the whole tone in this system's superpyth diatonic scale.

| This interval can be interpreted as a type of second on the basis of it approximating the sum of the syntonic comma and the Pythagorean Major Second; it also appears in Neapolitan scales as the interval formed from stacking two Ptolemaic Minor Seconds, making it double as a type of diminished third.
