* Let "X chord is consistent in N-edo" mean that when the chord is mapped to N edo, no interval in the chord has to be off by more than half of an edo step. I like the formulation "4:5:6:7:9:11 is consistent in 31edo" better than "31edo is consistent in the 11-odd limit". A set of odd numbers such as an odd limit corresponds to a harmonic series chord independent of voicing. And looking at chords is arguably the right thing to do when applying JI odd limit musically.
