It has a decent seventh harmonic ([[7/1]]) which is 12.4 cents sharp, and an excellent [[13/1]] inherited from [[3edt]] which is only 2.6 cents flat. However, the [[5/1]] is 39 cents flat, thus 13 steps of 9edt (approximating the 5/1) can be described as a neutral seventeenth — or if tritave-reduced to 4 steps, a neutral sixth (approximating the 5/3). This neutral sixth has a size of 845 cents, which is between [[8/5]] and [[5/3]]; if this interval is also taken as an approximation to [[13/8]], it would temper out [[40/39]] — making 9edt an exotemperament in the 8.3.5.13 subgroup. Though, 9edt is more well behaved on the 3.7.13 [[subgroup]], of which it tempers out [[351/343]] and [[2197/2187]]. | It has a decent seventh harmonic ([[7/1]]) which is 12.4 cents sharp, and an excellent [[13/1]] inherited from [[3edt]] which is only 2.6 cents flat.

For small edts, this property is virtually the same as supporting a [[4L_5s_(3/1-equivalent)|3/1-equivalent 4L 5s]], aka lambda, [[moment of symmetry]] scale, of which 9edt offers the "equalized" interpretation of L = s, analogous to [[7edo]] in diatonic ([[5L 2s]]) music. | ||
