In [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''99/64''' is an '''undecimal [[superfifth]]''' of about 755.2[[cent|¢]]. This interval is also known as the '''major fifth''', and can additionally be somewhat similarly dubbed the '''Alpharabian paramajor fifth''' or even the '''just paramajor fifth'''. It is distinguished from the simpler [[17/11]] by the [[1089/1088|twosquare comma]]. Despite being relatively more complex, 99/64 is actually pretty useful as an interval for those who work more extensively with the 11-limit. | In [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''99/64''' is an '''undecimal [[superfifth]]''' of about 755.2[[cent|¢]]. This interval is also known as the '''major fifth''' through analogy with [[16/11]] being the "minor fifth" as named by [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]], and can additionally be somewhat similarly dubbed the '''Alpharabian paramajor fifth''' or even the '''just paramajor fifth'''.
