Just intonation intervals are named in the scheme "m-th division-into-n", meaning n/(n-m).  
Just intonation intervals, or approximations to them, are named in the scheme "m-th division-into-n", meaning n/(n-m).  
*The "division into n" part is the Windermere number word with an infix {{angbr|''if''}}. (For example, ''bifooþ nyðjar'' means 7/4.)

*If the "m-th" part is missing, then the interval is assumed to be the superparticular ratio n/(n-1).
