16edo's step size is sometimes called an '''eka''', a term proposed by [[Luca Attanasio]], from Sanskrit [[wikt:%E0%A4%8F%E0%A4%95#Sanskrit|एक]] (''éka'', "one", "unit"),<ref>[http://www.armodue.com/risorse.htm Armodue: le risorse di un nuovo sistema musicale]</ref> when used as an [[interval size unit]], especially in the context of [[Armodue]] theory.

Line 13:

In general, 16edo tends to better approximate the differences between odd [[harmonic]]s than odd harmonics themselves, though there are exceptions: it has a [[7/4|7/1]] which is only six cents sharp, and a [[5/4|5/1]] which is only eleven cents flat. Most low harmonics are tuned very flat, but some such as [[21/16|21]]:[[11/8|22]]:[[23/16|23]]:[[3/2|24]]:[[25/16|25]]:[[13/8|26]] are well in tune with each other. Having a [[Stretched_and_compressed_tuning|flat tendency]], 16et is best tuned with the octave approximately 5{{cc}} sharp, slightly improving the accuracy of wide-voiced JI chords and [[rooted]] harmonics.

Four steps of 16edo gives the 300{{cc}} minor third interval shared by [[12edo]] (and other multiples of [[4edo]]), and thus the familiar [[diminished seventh chord]] may be built on any scale step with 4 unique tetrads up to [[octave equivalence]].
