In [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''11/8''' is an '''undecimal [[superfourth]]''' of about 551.3[[cent|¢]]. This interval has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_fourth_and_minor_fifth also been referred to] as the '''major fourth'''. Furthermore, as stacks of this interval form a core axis of Alpharabian tuning (see [[User:Aura/Aura's Ideas on Tonality #11-limit Axis Functionality]]), it can also be somewhat similarly dubbed the '''Alpharabian paramajor fourth''' or even the '''just paramajor fourth'''.

This interval is the simplest superfourth in JI, and as it falls about halfway between [[12edo]]'s [[perfect fourth]] and [[tritone]], it is very xenharmonic. As an octave-reduced overtone, it is a basis of consonance in 11-limit JI, alongside the lower odd numbers 9, 7, 5 and 3. It can be found in harmonic series chords such as 4:5:6:7:8:9:10:11:12, sitting somewhere between the much stronger and more familiar consonances of 10 (prime 5) and 12 (prime 3).
