99edo is a very strong [[7-limit]] (and [[9-odd-limit]]) tuning, with a sound defined by the slight sharpness (1.1, 1.6, 0.9 cents) of its [[3/1|3]], [[5/1|5]], and [[7/1|7]]. As an equal temperament, it [[tempering out|tempers out]] 393216/390625 ([[würschmidt comma]]) and 1600000/1594323 ([[amity comma]]) in the [[5-limit]]; 5120/5103 ([[5120/5103|argent comma]]), 2401/2400 ([[2401/2400|breedsma]]), 3136/3125 ([[hemimean comma]]), and 4375/4374 ([[4375/4374|ragisma]]) in the [[7-limit]], [[support]]ing [[hemififths]], [[amity]], [[parakleismic]], [[hemiwürschmidt]] and [[ennealimmal]] temperaments, and is pretty well a perfect tuning for [[hendecatonic]] temperament.

Extending it to the [[11-limit]] requires choosing which mapping one wants to use, as both are nearly equally far off the mark. Using the {{val| 99 157 230 278 '''343''' }} (99e) val, it tempers out [[243/242]], [[441/440]], [[540/539]] and [[896/891]], and is an excellent tuning for the 11-limit version of hemififths temperament. Using the [[patent val]], 99edo is the [[optimal patent val]] for the rank-4 temperament tempering out [[121/120]]; zeus, the rank-3 temperament tempering out 121/120 and [[176/175]]; [[hemiwür]], one of the rank-2 11-limit extensions of hemiwürschmidt; and [[hitchcock]] (an 11-limit amity extension), the rank-2 temperament which also tempers out [[2200/2187]]. The same can be said of the mapping for [[13/1|13]], with the 99ef val tempering out [[144/143]], [[196/195]], 352/351 and [[364/363]], and its patent val tempering out [[169/168]], [[351/350]] and [[352/351]]. Hence 99edo, in spite of the fact that it tunes 11 and 13 relatively badly, is an important 13-limit tuning in more than one way.

Since 99 factors into {{nowrap| 3<sup>2</sup> × 11 }}, 99edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 3, 9, 11, and 33 }}. Splitting 99edo's step in half yields [[198edo]], correcting prime 11, slightly improving prime 13, and aligning both 11 and 13 with the sharp tunings of the lower odd primes. Because of this, 198edo can be seen as a complex yet notable true full 13-limit tuning.
