Just intonation was initially an attractive choice as it was considered easy to tune and evaluate musicians on. Primes higher than 5 may have come from an early tradition of throat singing where having a deep voice and the ability to throat-sing higher harmonics (11-14) clearly was seen as a mark of masculinity. In summary, a major reason that this system of just intervals survived as a mainstay of Talman music was likely that maintaining it (without collapsing it to e.g. the common pentatonic scale) functioned as a status symbol. --> | Just intonation was initially an attractive choice as it was considered easy to tune and evaluate musicians on.
