| This interval acts as a type of semitone, however, whether it's a diatonic or chromatic semitone depends on the situation; in addition, it is also the closest approximation of the 31edo Subminor Second found in this system.  
| This interval...
* Approximates multiple complex [[17-limit]] intervals relative to the Tonic with various possibilities for usage...
:* One of these intervals is useful Western-Classical-based harmony as part of the simul cadence due to it providing a smooth option for both voice-leading and chord construction
:* Another is useful as an unexpected option for a chromatic semitone
* Is the closest approximation of the 31edo Subminor Second found in this system, and thus...
:* Is capable of being used in certain similar melodic and harmonic gestures, albeit with caveats, since such moves on their own don't work the exact same way in this system
* Is the closest approximation of the 16edo Subminor Second found in this system, and thus...
:* Can be used to great effect in emulating the feel of this system
