Ennealimmal temperament has a period of 1/9 octave and tempers out 2401/2400 and 4375/4374. EDOs that support ennealimmal include EDOs 27, 45, 72, 99, 171, 270, 441, and 612.

See Ragismic microtemperaments #Ennealimmal for more technical data.

Ennealimmal scales are built from a period (which is exactly 1/9 of an octave), and a generator (which is approximately 49 cents and represents several small intervals including 36/35). Depending on the size of the generator and the period in steps, the above listed EDOs make sense:

Period (steps) Generator (steps) Generator (cents)
(pure octave)
EDO
3 1 44.444 27
11 4 48.485 99
30 11 48.889 270
19 7 49.123 171
8 3 50.000 72
5 2 53.333 45
