118edo represents the intersection of the [[5-limit]] [[schismatic]] and [[parakleismic]] temperaments, [[tempering out]] both the [[schisma]], {{monzo| -15 8 1 }} and the [[parakleisma]], {{monzo| 8 14 -13 }}, as well as the [[vishnuzma]], {{monzo| 23 6 -14 }}, the [[hemithirds comma]], {{monzo| 38 -2 -15 }}, and the [[kwazy]], {{monzo| -53 10 16 }}. It is the first 5-limit equal division which clearly gives microtempering, with errors well under half a cent. ~~In addition~~, 118edo excellently approximates the 22 Shruti scale.

It is the first 5-limit equal division which clearly gives microtempering, with errors well under half a cent. As a result, 118edo also excellently approximates the 22 Shruti scale.

In the 7-limit, it is particularly notable for tempering out the [[gamelisma]], 1029/1024, and is an excellent tuning for the rank ~~three~~ [[Gamelismic family|~~gamelan~~]] temperament, and for [[guiron]], the rank ~~two~~ temperament also tempering out the schisma, 32805/32768. It also tempers out 3136/3125, the hemimean comma, but [[99edo]] does better with that.

118edo is the 17th [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning|zeta peak edo]], and it has decent approximations to harmonics [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]], [[17/1|17]], and [[19/1|19]]. In the 7-limit, it is particularly notable for tempering out the [[gamelisma]], 1029/1024, and is an excellent tuning for the rank-3 [[Gamelismic family|gamelismic]] temperament, and for [[guiron]], the rank-2 temperament also tempering out the schisma, 32805/32768. It also tempers out 3136/3125, the [[hemimean comma]], but [[99edo]] does better with that.

In the 11-limit, it tempers out [[385/384]] and [[441/440]], and is an excellent tuning for [[portent]], the temperament tempering out both, and for the 11-limit version of guiron, which does also.

Line 12:

Since the [[Pythagorean comma]] maps to 2 steps of 118edo, it can be interpreted as a series of ten segments of twelve Pythagorean fifths minus the said comma. In addition, one step of 118edo is close to the 2097152/2083725 (the [[bronzisma]]), [[169/168]], and [[170/169]].

118edo contains [[2edo]] and [[59edo]] as subsets. Its multiples, [[236edo]], [[354edo]] and [[472edo]] are all of various interests, each providing distinct interpretations of harmonics 7 and 11.
