22edo has two pairs of thirds: a major/minor pair, and a supermajor/subminor pair; despite most often being viewed as an 11-limit system, it lacks clear representation for the neutral thirds that are characteristic of 11-limit harmony.

The subminor third at 5\22 represents 7/6 with moderate accuracy, though it is significantly less consonant than the JI representation.  Its fifth compliment is the supermajor third at 8\22, which is an excellent representation of 9/7.  This interval is perhaps better paired with 14\22 than with 13\22, as the former can be interpreted as 11/7 and thus provides the more consonant otonal 7:9:11 triad.

The minor third at 6\22 is contentious in its interpretation; it is quite sharp as a representation of 6/5, though not sharp enough to constitute a neutral third.  Its fifth complement, the major third at 7\22, is a much clearer 5/4, the two being practically indistinguishable to the untrained ear.
