Division of the just perfect fifth into 21 equal parts (21EDF) is related to 36 edo, but with the 3/2 rather than the 2/1 being just. The octave is about 3.3514 cents stretched and the step size is about 33.4264 cents. Unlike 36edo, it is only consistent up to the 4-integer-limit, with discrepancy for the 5th harmonic.

Lookalikes: 36edo, 57edt
