44/35, the valinorsmic major third, is an 11-limit interval that is close to a 12edo major third, and which differs from 5/4 by 176/175, the valinorsma. It is the product of 11/10 and 8/7, intervals that are commonly used as stand-ins for the cube roots of 4/3 and 3/2 respectively, so appears as 1/3 of an octave in systems that carve both 4/3 and 3/2 in thirds, such as 15edo, 72edo, 87edo, and 159edo. It is 441/440 flat of 63/50, a 7-limit interval often representing 1/3 of an octave, in fact much more accurately than 44/35.
