988edo provides excellent tuning for the 2, 3, 5, 11, 13, 19, 37, 43, 47, 53, and 59th harmonics, making a strong higher-limit system. It is double the famous [[494edo]], and with the same mapping for the 17-limit. If considered in the 19-limit, it is basically a spicy 494edo with the 19th harmonic. The comma basis for such regular temperament is 1445/1444, 1716/1715, 2601/2600, 3025/3024, 4225/4224, 10830/10829, 297440/297381.

An alternate mapping for 17 would be the 988g val. In it, it tempers out 2025/2023, 13013/13005, 15625/15606, 31213/31212.

One step of 988edo is named '''semisqub''', given the strong relation to 494edo and the fact that 1 step of 494edo is called a squb.
