Though commonly neglected, this division of an octave doubles a very natural tuning, [[22edo]], to which it adds the ratios of 13, 19, and 23. While not the most accurate 2.3.5.7.11 tuning, 22edo is certainly a relatively compact one, and it's a surprise that extending it in this way has been done rarely or not at all. The most practically useful of these additions is easily the 13th harmonic with its neutral intervals, but the 17th, 19th, and 23rd are not to be dismissed. In the 13-limit it supplies the optimal patent val for [[vigin]] temperament. The [[k*N_subgroups|2*44]] subgroup of 44edo is 2.9.5.21.11.13.17.19.23, on which 44 tempers out the same commas as the patent val for [[88edo]].

One step of 44edo is very close (only 0.0086 cents sharp) to [[64/63]] (the septimal comma).

One step of 44edo is very close (only 0.0086 cents sharp) to [[64/63]] (the septimal comma). [[Ruthenium]] temperament realizes this proximity through a regular temperament perspective, and it is supported by a large number of edos which are a multiple of 44.
