381edo
381 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 381edo or 381ed2), also called 381-tone equal temperament (381tet) or 381 equal temperament (381et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 381 equal parts of about 3.15 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/381, or the 381st root of 2.
Theory
381edo is consistent to the 13-odd-limit and almost the 15-odd-limit; the only inconsistently mapped intervals in the 15-odd-limit are 15/11 and its octave complement. It has a sharp tendency, with odd harmonics 3 through 15 all tuned sharp except for 11, which is very slightly flat.
As an equal temperament, it tempers out the vulture comma, [24 -21 4⟩, in the 5-limit and 6144/6125 (porwell comma) and 250047/250000 (landscape comma) in the 7-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for the porwell planar temperament tempering out 6144/6125, and nessafof, the 99 & 282 temperament tempering out it and the landscape comma 250047/250000.

Subsets and supersets
Since 381 factors into primes as 3 × 127, 381edo contains 3edo and 127edo as subsets.
