However, its 23\39 fifth, 5.737 Cents sharp, is in much better tune than the Mavila fifth which like all Mavila fifths is very, very flat, in this case, 25 Cents flat. Together with its best third which is the familiar 400 cents of 12 equal, we get a system which tempers out the diesis, 128/125, and the amity comma, 1600000/1594323. We have two choices for a map for 7, but the sharp one works better with the 3 and 5, which adds 64/63 and 126/125 to the list. Tempering out both 128/125 and 64/63 makes 39EDO, in some few ways, allied to 12-ET in supporting augene temperament, and is in fact, an excellent choice for an augene tuning, but one difference is that 39 has a fine 11, and adding it to consideration we find that 39-EDO tempers out 99/98 and 121/120 also. This better choice for 39et is &lt;39 62 91 110 135|.

A particular anecdote with this 39 divisions per 2/1 was made in the Teliochordon, in 1788 by Charles Clagget (Ireland, 1740? - 1820), a little extract [[http://ml.oxfordjournals.org/content/76/2/291.extract.jpg|here]].
