remove the name "undcimal imperfect fifth"–50/33 is a diatonic perfect fifth and some used "imperfect fifth" for d5, so this term is too controversial and ambiguous to include.

50/33, the ptolemismic fifth or the 5edo-esque fifth, is an 11-limit interval. It is sharp of 3/2, the perfect fifth, by 100/99, the ptolemisma, hence the name. It is also flat of 32/21, the superfifth, by 176/175, the valinorsma. Being 16/11 augmented by 25/24, it is technically a semiaugmented fifth aka paramajor fifth.

Approximation

Measuring about 719.4 ¢, 50/33 is very well approximated by 5edo and its supersets.
