31edo's perfect fifth is flat of the just interval 3/2 (over five cents), as befits a tuning [[support|supporting]] [[meantone]], but the major third is less than a cent sharp (of just 5/4), making it slightly sharp of [[quarter-comma meantone]]. 31's approximation of 7/4, a cent flat, is also very close to just. It is a very tone-efficient melodic approximation of the [[11-limit]] (and specifically the [[11-odd-limit]]), although ~~the fact that~~ it ~~equates~~ 14/11 ~~with 9/7~~ and 11/8 with 15/11 ~~could potentially be considered too much tuning damage~~. Many [[7-limit]] JI scales are well-approximated in 31 (with tempering, of course).

Because of the near-just 5/4 and 7/4 and because the 11th harmonic is almost twice as flat as the 3rd harmonic, 31edo is relatively quite accurate and is [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|the 6th zeta integral edo, the 7th zeta gap EDO, a zeta peak EDO and a zeta peak integer EDO]], meaning it is a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|strict zeta EDO]]. Other ways in which 31edo is especially accurate is that it represents a record in [[Pepper ambiguity]] in the 7-, 9- and [[11-odd-limit]], which it is [[consistent]] through, and that it is the first [[Trivial temperament|non-trivial]] EDO to be consistent in the 11-[[Odd prime sum limit|odd-prime-sum-limit]].

One step of 31edo, measuring about 38.7¢, is called a [[diesis]] because it stands in for several intervals called "dieses" (~~such as~~ [[128/125]] and [[648/625]]) which are tempered out in [[12edo]]. The diesis is a defining sound of 31edo; when it does not appear directly in a scale, it often shows up as the difference between two or more intervals of a similar size. The diesis is demonstrated in [[SpiralProgressions]]. [[Zhea Erose]]'s 31edo music uses the interval frequently.
