To vary the theme, here is a scale of 22 notes with 18 brats of 4,
2 brats of 3, and 2 complex ratio brats. It can be used in place of 22
edo, particularly for pajara. The precise values of the notes involve
the square root of two.

This always impressed me as one of the interesting features in 22 
equal, how close they are already that maybe some musicians can adjust 
almost automatically.
