Approximation by edos

The first edo to be consistent to the 9-odd-limit is 5edo, giving a rough outline for harmony with its relatively accurate 3/2 and 7/4 of 720 and 960 cents respectively, while very sharply mapping 5/4 to 480 cents. The first edo to be distinctly consistent in this limit is 41edo.
