English Wikipedia has an article on:

In just intonation

In the 7-limit:

  • 12:14:18, a subminor triad, is a 9-odd-limit chord that tunes the third flatter than the 5-limit minor.

In the 5-limit:

  • 10:12:15 is found on the iii (5⁄4) and vi (5⁄3) of Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale (Zarlino), perhaps the most common 5-limit diatonic.
  • 27:32:40 is found on the ii (9⁄8) of Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale.

In the 3-limit:

  • 54:64:81 is found on the ii (9⁄8), iii (81⁄64), and vi (27⁄16) of the Pythagorean diatonic scale.
