Original Wikitext content:
=[[#Division of the tritave (3/1) into 12 equal parts]]Division of the tritave (3/1) into 27 equal parts= Dividing the interval of 3/1 into 27 equal parts gives a scale with a basic step of 70.44 cents, which is nearly identical to one step of [[17edo]] (70.59 cents). Hence it has similar melodic and harmonic properties as 17edo, with the difference that 27 is not a prime number. 27 being the third power of 3, and the base interval being 3/1, 27edt is a tuning where the number 3 prevails. This property seems to predestine 27edt as base tuning for Klingon music (since the tradtional Klingon number system is also based on 3). See, e.g., [[http://launch.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning/message/86909]] and [[http://www.klingon.org/smboard/index.php?topic=1810.0]].
