5/7-kleismic major third
(Shannon, [math]\displaystyle{ \sqrt{nd} }[/math])
80/63, the hemifamity major third or the 5/7-kleismic major third, which is 5120/5103 (5.76 cents) sharp of 81/64 and 441/440 (3.9 cents) flat of 14/11 is the interval between 9/8 and 10/7, as well as 7/5 and 16/9. It is one of the ways approximate 11-limit harmony can appear in 7-limit scales.
Terminology
It could also be called werckismic major third if viewed as fudging from 14/11 instead. Wide major third, a less unique name, is attested in Scala.
