Trithagorean ultrafifth
The triptolemaic augmented fifth or Trithagorean ultrafifth, 125/81, is a 5-limit just interval equal to the Pythagorean augmented fifth 6561/4096 lowered by 3 syntonic commas (81/8p3). It is also equal to 25/16 lowered by 81/80 and to 128/81 lowered by 128/125. It also appears as a notable interval in the Trithagorean scale/3.5 subgroup, being the tritave-reduction of 5/33. It can be closely approximated by 17/11 and by 5 steps of 8edo.
