A '''neji''' or '''NEJI''' (pronounced /nɛdʒi/ "nedgy"; for "near-equal [[just intonation]]") is a [[circulating temperament]] which approximates an [[Equal-step tuning|equal tuning]] dividing a JI [[equave]] into JI scale steps.

Due to the influence of Zhea Erose who originated the term, ''neji'' often specifically refers to a subset of a mode of the [[harmonic series]] used to approximate an edo~~. The term may also informally be used for a harmonic series approximation of any non-JI scale, e.g. "neji Lydian"~~.

Due to the influence of Zhea Erose who originated the term, in informal usage ''neji'' often specifically refers to a subset of a mode of the [[harmonic series]] used to approximate an edo.

A '''nemi''' or '''NEMI''' (near-equivalent modal intonation) is a scale which approximates some non-JI scale by dividing a JI equave with a subset of a mode of the harmonic series.

A '''nemi''' or '''NEMI''' (near-equivalent modal intonation) is a scale which approximates some non-JI scale by dividing a JI equave with a subset of a mode of the harmonic series. The term ''neji'' may informally be used for nemis, e.g. "neji Lydian".

~~In the example above, “nemi Lydian”~~ may be ~~a less ambiguous way to describe said scale~~.
