The 15-odd-limit is the set of all rational intervals for which neither the numerator nor the denominator of the frequency ratio exceeds 15, once all powers of 2 are removed. To the 13-odd-limit, it adds 4 interval pairs involving 15.
Below is a list of all octave-reduced intervals in the 15-odd-limit. This collection of intervals has proven to be useful for illustrating certain characteristics of medium-sized EDOs (~15 to 41 steps).

The smallest EDO which is consistent in the 15-odd-limit is 29edo; that which is distinctly consistent in the same is 111edo.
