English Wikipedia has an article on:
10/1, the 10th harmonic or the decade (symbol: dec), is the harmonic past 9/1 and before 11/1. It is three octaves above 5/4. As a coarse interval size measure it sees many applications in audio engineering. In harmony, it can be approached as a stack of 2/1 and 5/1, making chords like 1-2-10, 1-5-10, or 1-2-5-10.
It is sometimes known as a decave or decatave.
