| This interval is particularly likely to be used as a cross between an Ultraprime and an Inframinor Second; furthermore, as the name "Semilimma" suggests, this interval is one half of a Pythagorean Minor Second.

* Approximates the [[40/39|Tridecimal Minor Diesis]]
* Is one half of a Pythagorean Minor Second in this system
* Functions like an Ultraprime in that...
:* It has the potential to move directly back down to the Tonic through a parachromatic motion
:* It has the potential to move away from the Tonic towards either a Contralead or Supertonic harmony through a diatonic or paradiatonic motion
:* It cannot occur as the distance between any two notes in a single chord in Western-Classical-based polypedal harmony due to its dissonance
* Functions like an Inframinor Second in that...
:* It can be used in a contrapuntal passage in which both of the notes separated by this interval in one voice work well against the notes in all other voices

| By default, this interval is a type of parachromatic quartertone- specifically, the representation of the Al-Farabi Quartertone- and is thus used in much the same way as 24edo's own Ultraprime; what might be surprising is that five of these add up to this system's approximation of the Septimal Subminor Third.
| This interval...
* Approximates the [[33/32|Al-Farabi Quartertone]]
* Is one half of this system's approximation of the Octave-Reduced Seventeenth Harmonic
* Is one fifth of this system's approximation of the Septimal Subminor Third
* Is the closest approximation of 24edo's own Ultraprime in this system
* Functions as the default parachromatic quartertone in this system, and thus...
:* Can be used more overtly in both melodic and harmonic voice-leading, though doing so in Western-Classical-based music requires a proper set-up
:* Has the potential to move directly back down to the Tonic through a parachromatic motion
:* Has the potential to move away from the Tonic towards either a Contralead or Supertonic harmony through a diatonic or paradiatonic motion
:* Cannot occur as the distance between any two notes in a single chord in Western-Classical-based polypedal harmony due to its dissonance
