'''Devadoot''' is the name proposed by Mason Green for the non-octave-equivalent variant of [[Magic|magic]] temperament that has a period of a flattened major third, five of which make a tritave (3:1), and a generator which can equivalently be designated as an octave, a perfect fifth, or a large quarter tone (i. e., an octave minus three periods). | '''Devadoot''' is the name proposed by [[Mason Green]] for the non-octave-equivalent variant of [[Magic|magic]] temperament that has a period of a flattened major third, five of which make a tritave (3:1), and a generator which can equivalently be designated as an octave, a perfect fifth, or a large quarter tone (i. e., an octave minus three periods). | ||
Devadoot is closely related to [[41edo|41edo]], which has near-just (slightly sharp) tritaves. If the tritaves of 41edo are compressed to be just, then the octaves will be slightly flat (by less than half a cent). However the difference between these tunings is so small as to be practically negligible. | Devadoot is closely related to [[41edo|41edo]], which has near-just (slightly sharp) tritaves.
