The naming pattern from [[11/9|undecimal neutral third]] and [[12/11|undecimal neutral second]] and their octave complements can be rigorously generalized and results in the somewhat unconventional ''harmonic/undecimal neutral fourth''. Furthermore, as stacks of this interval form a core axis of [[Alpharabian tuning]], it has also been dubbed the '''Axirabian paramajor fourth''' or more simply the '''just paramajor fourth''' – see [[User:Aura/Aura's Ideas on Functional Harmony #History|the history of Aura's Ideas on Functional Harmony]] for explanation of the modified names. This interval has also been termed the '''undecimal major fourth''' since the tempered version found in [[24edo]] was dubbed the "major fourth" by [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]], although this may be confusing in diatonic contexts. More recently, [[Zhea Erose]] has suggested calling it something more simple: the '''harmonic fourth''' – under the idea that it is the simplest [[harmonic]] that is in the general (very) rough range of "fourths" when octave-reduced.

Because it is right between the diatonic fourth and tritone, it may also be called the '''(lesser) undecimal tritone'''.<ref>Kyle Gann (1998) [https://www.kylegann.com/Octave.html ''Anatomy of an Octave'']</ref>
