The nexus between the two divisions [494-edo and 612-edo] is of course 494&612, which is kwazy. In the 5-limit it is defined by the kwazy comma of 2,3,5-monzo |-53 10, 16 >, (approximately the ratio 9.01016E+15 : 9.0072E+15), about 4/7 of a cent in size (more precisely, ~0.569430491 cent).
This leads to a 5-limit temperament with a half-octave period and a generator which is a schisma larger than 9/7, and hence is a "quasi" 9/7. The 5-limit Graham complexity of 26 is high, as expected for a microtemperament, but much less than the 7-limit or 11-limit Graham complexity of 162. In kwazy, you get a lot of essentially just 5-limit harmony, and the "quasi" 7-limit, before eventually the 11-limit turns up.
