In [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''11/8''' is an '''undecimal [[superfourth]]''' of about 551.3[[cent|&cent;]].  This interval, or rather the tempered version found in [[24edo]], was dubbed the '''major fourth''' by [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]].  Furthermore, as stacks of this interval form a core axis of [[Alpharabian tuning]], it can also be somewhat similarly dubbed the '''Axirabian paramajor fourth''' or even the '''just paramajor fourth'''- see [[User:Aura/Aura's Ideas on Functional Harmony #History|the history of Aura's Ideas on Functional Harmony]] for explanation of the modified names.

This interval is the simplest superfourth in JI, and as it falls about halfway between [[12edo]]'s [[perfect fourth]] and [[tritone]], it is very xenharmonic.  As an octave-reduced harmonic, it is a basis of consonance in 11-limit JI, alongside the lower odd numbers 9, 7, 5 and 3. It can be found in harmonic series chords such as 4:5:6:7:8:9:10:11:12, sitting somewhere between the much stronger and more familiar consonances of 10 (prime 5) and 12 (prime 3).
