25edo also contains mavila, although the tuning is 672 cents and hence very flat, even flatter than 16edo. The major third is 384¢, close to a just [[5/4]] and the minor third is 288¢, close to a just [[13/11]].

Mavila defines a tuning "spectrum", similarly to the meantone spectrum. The fifth of 7edo (~686 cents) is often thought of as a dividing line between diatonic and mavila: if the fifth is flatter than this, it will generate anti-diatonic scales but ''not'' [[7L 2s]] superdiatonic scales (it will generate [[2L 7s]] instead), and if it is sharper than this, it will generate diatonic scales. The fifth of 9edo is also often thought of as the other tuning endpoint on the mavila spectrum.
