The simplest possible 15-odd-limit stellated Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 75/64 5/4 45/32 3/2 225/128 15/8 2/1, with steps of 75/64 16/15 9/8 16/15 75/64 16/15 16/15. This only adds two notes to the already smaller than usual base hexany, producing a heptatonic scale that is a detemper of the hungarian minor scale - two 5-limit major sevenths 16/15 apart. This makes it not xenharmonic at all as long as you are familiar with eastern European music and there are many 12edo pieces that can be translated to it while remaining recognisable. Closely related scales that have fewer duplicated notes include the 3-9-15-45 stellated hexany and the 5-15-25-75 stellated hexany.
