3 equal divisions of 11/9 (abbreviated 3ed11/9) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 11/9 into 3 equal parts of about 116 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (11/9)1/3, or the cube root of 11/9.

6 steps of this temperament is an extremely close approximation of 81:121, having only 0.3% relative error. 11 steps is obviously 81:169, so 81:121:169 is well approximated, which represents the approximate 2:3:4 created by overtones of chimes.[1]
