27/22, conventionally called the rastmic neutral third, is 243/242 (7.1 ¢) sharp of 11/9, and together with 11/9 makes 3/2, so that we obtain the two neutral triads, 1-11/9-3/2 and 1-27/22-3/2, with intervals of 11/9 and 27/22. It is the interval between 10/9 and 15/11, and 11/9 and 3/2 and their inversions. As this is the larger of two 11-limit neutral thirds obtained by modifying Pythagorean intervals by 33/32, it is dubbed the Alpharabian tendoneutral third in Alpharabian tuning.
