I took a look at Wilson's Scott scale (genus(3^3 5^4) minus a note) in
minimax minerva. The wolf is the minerva tempering of 16/11, though in
fact it's really quite close to 19/13 (a 209/208 comma distinction.)
There are also three flat fifths of size 693.4. Three of the minor
thirds pop up to the pure 11/9 of minimax minerva, but we also have a
major third of almost the same size, 346 cents instead of 347.4 cents
(this paired with the wolf), and three 350 cent thirds. If anyone
wanted to learn to use this scale they could have a lot of fun with
it, or with its inverted form.
