A 13-limit bihexany. This creates a scale of 1 13/12 52/45 39/32 13/10 4/3 13/9 3/2 13/8 5/3 16/9 15/8 2/1, with steps of 13/12 16/15 135/128 16/15 40/39 13/12 27/26 13/12 40/39 16/15 135/128 16/15. This is another instance where using the more complex inversion of the offset interval causes most of the other intervals to cancel out factors, resulting in a more consonant mode overall. While it does have some intervals that are slightly below optimal for melody, they are all still distinct and it has 6 perfect 5ths, all of which are mapped to 7 steps above their roots, giving you an interesting selection of easy to play detempered neutral and barbados chords to choose from, but only one 5-limit major and minor chord, which may actually be an advantage in establishing that solidly as the root note.
