-There is evidence that the Netagin at one point used a quasi-equiheptatonic system similar to our Thai music. 7 more notes were added to the octave for extra chromatic gestures, producing a quasi-14edo system. The chromatic gestures used in melodic music developed over time resulting in the ''hanier'' system.
+There is evidence that the Netagin at one point used a quasi-equiheptatonic system similar to our Thai music. Older musical treatises describe a 14-note system, suggesting that 7 more notes were added to the octave for extra chromatic gestures.

 Talman influence eventually led the Netagin to adopt 19edo as their abstract gamut. Though the Netagin traditionally did not view the 9-note framework as a tempered JI framework, later Windermere influence also shifted performance practice towards 2.3.7 JI in certain (esp. harmonic) contexts, establishing 7-limit JI notes as acceptable variations of the existing notes. Nowadays, some Netagin-speaking areas and contexts are close to following the tempered 2.3.7 interpretation (called semaphore[9] in regular temperament theory), using different JI preimages for the same scale note depending on context. However, some have retained JI-agnostic intonation practices.
