Theory: about the notablity of 988 & 2016... I also know the year 988 as the year of baptism of Kyiv Rus so I just casually stumbled upon 988 & 2016 temperament while composing, i think it's interesting

988edo provides excellent tuning for the 2, 3, 5, 11, 13, 19, 37, 43, 47, 53, and 59th harmonics, making a strong higher-limit system. It is double the famous [[494edo]], and with the same mapping for the 17-limit. If considered in the 19-limit, it provides a good correction for the 19th harmonic over 494edo. The comma basis for such regular temperament is 1156/1155, 1275/1274, 1445/1444, 1716/1715, 2080/2079, 2431/2430, 4096/4095.  
988edo provides excellent tuning for the 2, 3, 5, 11, 13, 19, 37, 43, 47, 53, 59th harmonics and a reasonable tuning for 23, 31, 41st harmonics, making a strong higher-limit system. In lower limits, it is [[enfactored]] in the [[17-limit]], with the same tuning as 494edo, which is notable for being a zeta edo. If considered in the 19-limit, it provides a good correction for the 19th harmonic over 494edo. The comma basis for 988edo in the 19-limit is {1156/1155, 1275/1274, 1445/1444, 1716/1715, 2080/2079, 2431/2430, 4096/4095}.


An alternate mapping for 17 would be the 988g val, where it tempers out 2025/2023, 13013/13005, 15625/15606, 31213/31212.

=== Higher limits ===
In the 2.5.11.13.19.29.31 it supports period-52 temperament called [[french deck]], with the tempering out of [[6656/6655]] inherited from 494edo.


One step of 988edo is named '''semisqub''', given the strong relation to 494edo and the fact that 1 step of 494edo is called a squb.
988edo is similar to [[2016edo]] in the fact that both tune well the 2.5.11.13.19.41.47 subgroup. The result is the 988 & 2016 temperament, which reaches [[13/8]] in four generators and has a comma basis {7943/7942, 322465/322373, 16777475/16777216, 22151168/22150865, 12998046875/12994428928}.
 
=== As an interval size measure ===
In the 2.5.11.13.19.41.47 it supports a 988 & [[2016edo|2016]] temperament.<!-- why is it notable? -->
One step of 988edo is named ''semisqub'', given the strong relation to 494edo and the fact that 1 step of 494edo is called a squb.
 
In the 2.5.11.13.19.29.31 it supports period-52 temperament called [[french deck]].
