14/11 is a large major third
A capital 'L' signals alteration upward by 896/891, and a lower case 'u' signals alteration downward by 896/891. The alteration is typically applied upward for positive Pythagorean intervals, and downward for negative Pythagorean intervals.
 
14/11 is a large major third, LM3, and 11/7 is a little minor sixth, lm6.
