In [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''16/11''' is an '''undecimal subfifth''' measuring about 648.7¢. It is the inversion of [[11/8]], the undecimal superfourth.

It is the inversion of [[11/8]], the undecimal superfourth. While the name "undecimal subfifth" suggests some variation of a perfect fifth, the subfifth is generally considered an interval in its own right being like neither a perfect fifth nor the tritone. Accordingly, this interval can also be called the '''undecimal minor fifth''' since the tempered version found in [[24edo]], was dubbed the "minor fifth" by [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]]. Furthermore, given its connections to [[Alpharabian tuning]], it can also be somewhat similarly dubbed the '''Axirabian paraminor fifth''' or even the '''just paraminor fifth'''- 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. | ||
The character of this interval is something very unique in that it produces a sound of overtones that resembles that of a large bell. Furthermore, the hands of a good composer, 16/11 has decent potential as the interval between the root and fifth of a chord. That said, even the best triads that utilize it in this capacity- such as 44:55:64- must be handled with some measure of care as the rather dissonant nature of this interval provides a sense of tension, albeit less so than with diminished triads. | The character of this interval is something very unique in that it produces a sound of overtones that resembles that of a large bell.
