How do u notate 16 edo in sagittal?

With its best (native) fifth, 16-edo has tone = 2 steps, apotome = -1 step, limma = 3 steps.

Because the apotome (a chain of 7 fifths) is negative, we can't use sharps or flats in a native-fifth notation for it.

Here are 4 options. [Edit: Updated to include my latest simplified-EDO-notation proposal]

16-edo using native fifth (as in the XH article):
D	D	D
E	E	E	E	E
			F	F	F

16-edo using 12-edo fifth, as a subset of 48-edo (the alternative in the XH article):
D	D	D	D
E	E	E	E	E
	F	F	F	F

16edo using native fifth and previously-proposed limma-fraction symbols:
D	D	D
	E	E	E	E
			F	F	F

16edo using native fifth and my currently-proposed limma-fraction symbols:
D	D	D
	E	E	E	E
			F	F	F
