971edo's fifth is only 0.00174 cents sharp of just, as it is the denominator of the first semiconvergent to log₂(3/2) past 389\665. It is consistent to the 9-odd-limit, but there is a large relative delta in its approximation to harmonic 5. Skipping the harmonic, it is a good 2.3.7.11.13.17 subgroup system.
