[[159edo]] contains all the intervals of [[53edo]], however, as some of the interpretations differ due 159edo having different mappings for certain primes, those differences show up in how harmonies are constructed.  It should be noted that since 159edo does a better job of representing the 2.3.11 subgroup than [[24edo]], some of the chords listed on the page for [[24 EDO interval names and harmonies|24edo interval names and harmonies]] carry over to this page, even though the exact sets of enharmonics differ between the two systems.

| Inframinor Second, Wide Superprime

|  
| By default, this interval is a type of paradiatonic quartertone and is used in much the same way as 24edo's own Inframinor second.

| Although this interval can act as a leading tone, it can also act as a trienstone- that is, a third of a tone- since it's one third of the Classic Major Second.
