Morenoctaves

Enrique Moreno has named non-octave intervals of equivalence
"morenoctives" after himself. Anyone know if he has priority on the idea?

James Heffernan called a 1188.7 cent interval "decade" to reflect the
10-note white key scale he preferred from the quindectimal scale
formed by dividing 3/1 (called "twelfth") into 24 equal parts
(patented in US 1908). It is funny that arrangement should look so
similar to Heinz Bohlen's organ keyboard.

They're all n:1 ratios.

Bohlen may have conceived of tritave (3:1) equivalence earlier . . .
