11/10, the large undecimal neutral second or undecimal submajor second, is an interval favored by Ptolemy.

Approximation

11/10 is approximated extremely precisely by 80edo and its multiples, with a chain of 80 11/10's failing to close at the octave by a mere third of a cent, close enough that you could theoretically tune an instrument to 80edo by ear using it if you had the patience.

Temperaments

11/10 is treated as a comma in edos 1, 2, 3, 5, and some very low accuracy temperaments such as antietam. If it is used as a generator instead, it produces porcupine, although it is slightly sharper than the optimal tuning for porcupine and does not fit the 80edo patent val mapping.

Trivia

Coincidentally, the interval between the most common tuning frequency (A440) and the second most common AC electrical frequency (50 Hz) is exactly 44/5, or three octaves above an 11/10.
