-'''60afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''60odo''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into sixty parts of 1/60 each. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 60 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-60]] scale.
+'''60afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''60odo''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into sixty parts of 1/60 each. It is a superset of 59afdo and a subset of 61afdo. Added to 59afdo are many 119/ ratios. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 60 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-60]] scale.
-Due to 60 being 2 x 2 × 3 × 5, this afdo contains many low complexity [[5-limit]] intervals. 60 is a highly composite afdo, containing within it [[1edo|1]], [[2afdo|2]], [[3afdo|3]], [[4afdo|4]], [[5afdo|5]], [[6afdo|6]], [[10afdo|10]], [[12afdo|12]], [[15afdo|15]], [[20afdo|20]] and [[30afdo|30]] afdo.
+= 2<sup>2</sup> × 3 × 5, and 60afdo is a highly composite afdo, with many ways to form frequency-domain equal subset scales.
