In 7-limit just intonation, 27/14 is the septimal major seventh or supermajor seventh. At about 1137 cents, it sounds much more tense than its classic counterpart 15/8 and thus provides the function of a strong leading tone added to the traditional harmony.
It is very accurately approximated by 19edo (18\19), and hence the enneadecal temperament.
