== Arto and tendo as interval qualities ==
By utilizing the logic of 24edo, "arto" and "tendo" can be generalized to interval qualities that follow interval arithmetic, corresponding to semi-diminished and semi-augmented, which are closer to their definition as interval regions in diatonic scales close to Pythagorean; in meantone tunings, these tend to correspond to supermajor and subminor.
For a diatonic edo to have arto and tendo intervals by this definition, its chroma must be an even number of edosteps.

In just intonation, the "arto" and "tendo" labels may be used for the diesis 416/405, which relates the Pythagorean and arto/tendo thirds in just intonation.
