21edo has the [[Step ratio|soft]] [[oneirotonic]] (5L 3s) MOS with generator 8\21; in addition to the [[naiadic]]s (457.14¢) and extremely sharp fifths (742.85¢) that generate it, it has neutral thirds (instead of major thirds as in [[13edo]] oneirotonic), neogothic minor thirds, and meantone-like diatonic semitones. The oneirofifths (4-step intervals) are more tritone-like than fifth-like, unlike in 13edo, although they do have a consonant, even JI-like quality to them. In terms of JI, it mainly approximates 5:9:11:13 (R-so8-Lon2-Pon4) and 16:23:30 (R-Lon5-Lo8). Importantly, the sharp fifth is now harmonically much more fifth-like than the flat fifth, unlike in [[13edo]] and harder tunings. Rather than squashed tertian triads, it may be preferable to use triads with sharp fifths, quartal harmony, stacks of seconds and thirds, third+sixth and third+seventh chords, and using the JI approximations (subsets of 5:9:11:13 (R-so8-Lon2-Pon4), 9:10:11:13 (R-Lon2-Lon3-Lon5), and 8:15:23 (R-Lon7-Lon5)).

34edo (semisoft) oneirotonic is broadly similar, except the small steps are more 12edo-like and less meantone-like.

Seconds, tritones and sevenths are consonances in addition to thirds and sixths. The naiadic is a semiconsonance. The sharp fifth is fifth-like but is still a dissonance.
Seconds, tritones and sevenths are consonances in addition to thirds and sixths. The naiadic is a semiconsonance. The sharp fifth is fifth-like but is still a dissonance; the triad root-third-629 can resolve to a more consonant chord such as 0-343-457.


It is suggested to use R-mos3-mos5-mos7 carefully in 21edo oneiro - it sounds more like a dissonant, unstable 12edo diminished 7th, unlike in 13edo and harder oneiro tunings.
