From a no-twos perspective, 28edt has a nearly-pure 5th harmonic (which tritave-reduces to [[5/3]]), with 41/28 being a continued fraction [[convergent]] to log<sub>3</sub>(5). It poorly approximates harmonic 7, but has an acceptable approximation of harmonic 11, so it makes sense to consider it as a [[3.5.11 subgroup]] system. In the 3.5.11 subgroup, it supports the [[deneb]] temperament, which equates 3 flat [[11/9]]s to [[5/3]], and the [[delta centauri]] temperament, which equates 9 near-just [[5/3]]s tritave-reduced to [[11/9]] (although delta centauri is a [[microtemperament]] and larger EDTs like [[71edt]] offer much better tunings of it). | From a no-twos perspective, 28edt has a nearly-pure 5th harmonic (which tritave-reduces to [[5/3]]), with 41/28 being a continued fraction [[convergent]] to log<sub>3</sub>(5).

28edt has a very accurate [[8/1|8th harmonic]], and as such, one step is very close to every third step of [[53edo]], and the tritave-reduced 8th harmonic [[8/3]] and tritave-reduced 8th subharmonic [[9/8]] are equally well-approximated. It tempers out the [[schisma]] in the 8.3.5 subgroup, albeit a really strange tuning due to being a multiple of 4edt and being index-2 in BP. | 28edt has a very accurate [[8/1|8th harmonic]], and as such, one step is very close to every third step of [[53edo]], and the tritave-reduced 8th harmonic [[8/3]] and tritave-reduced 8th subharmonic [[9/8]] are equally well-approximated.

It can also be used for the 3.5.8.11 extension of deneb temperament equating +5 generators to 8/3. | ||
Similar to how 14edt can be seen as [[9edo]] with significantly [[stretched and compressed tuning|stretched]] [[octave]]s (~23{{c}}), 28edt can be seen as [[18edo]] with the same stretched octave. Note that using the stretched octave will map 8/1 to an inconsistent approximation rather than the aforementioned accurate 8/1. Considering that [[29edt]] is a compressed 18edo, neither 28edt or 29edt are truly equivalent to 18edo (these two basically correspond to 18edo's dual fifths). | Similar to how 14edt can be seen as [[9edo]] with significantly [[stretched and compressed tuning|stretched]] [[octave]]s (~23{{c}}), 28edt can be seen as [[18edo]] with the same stretched octave.
