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, 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.

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.
