A 13-odd-limit dekany. This creates a scale of 1 13/12 9/8 39/32 5/4 65/48 3/2 13/8 5/3 15/8 2/1, with steps of 13/12 27/26 13/12 40/39 13/12 72/65 13/12 40/39 9/8 16/15. This combines a full diatonic scale, albeit with a wolf fourth, with three more obviously xenharmonic notes that can be used to spice things up and so has strong compositional potential. It is represented excellently in 53edo, where it maps to a scale of 6 3 6 2 6 8 6 2 9 5 steps.
