Degrees can be '''negative''': 50/49 = biruyo negative 2nd = rryy-2. It's a negative 2nd because it goes up in pitch but down the scale: zg5 + rryy-2 = ry4. Negative is different than descending, from ry4 to zg5 is a descending negative 2nd. There are also diminished unisons, which raise the pitch but diminish the quality. For example, if 11/8 is notated as a P4, two of them are a m7 of 121/64 = 1102¢. Going from a yo M7 = 1088¢ up to this m7 raises the pitch, and 121/120 is a dim unison.

'''Compound''', abbreviated '''co-''' or '''c''', is a conventional music theory term that means widened by an octave. 15/4 is a compound yo 7th = coyo 7th = cy7. 5/1 is a double-compound yo 3rd = cocoyo 3rd = ccy3. 9/1 is a tricowa 2nd = c<sup>3</sup>w2. More examples in the [[Gallery of just intervals#Intervals larger than an octave|Gallery of just intervals]]. Mnemonic: co- as in co-pilot means auxiliary, thus a 9th is a co-2nd. See [[#Prime Subgroup Names]] below for another mnemonic.
