Theory
422edo is a zeta peak edo, though not zeta integral nor zeta gap. It is distinctly consistent through the 27-odd-limit, with harmonics of 3 through 23 all tuned sharp. In the 5-limit it tempers out the vishnuzma, [23 6 -14⟩; and in the 7-limit 4375/4374 and 589824/588245 so that it supports the gamera temperament, and provides its optimal patent val, and also supports the vishnu temperament.
