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 tempers out the commas [[6655/6561]] and [[4-cent comma|1953125/1948617]]. The former means ~~28edt~~ supports [[deneb]] temperament, which equates 3 flat [[11/9]]s to [[5/3]], and the latter means it supports [[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). [[56edt]] rectifies the approximation of the 7th harmonic.

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. It can also be used for the 3.5.8.11 extension of deneb temperament equating +5 generators to 8/3.
