=== Distinctly tempered out commas ===

12edo is distinctly consistent in the 5-odd-limit. It distinctly tempers out precisely 14 commas—ratios that vanish through a series of intervals in the distinct consistency odd-limit where each note is distinct, with the sole exception of the last note, which matches the first.

=== Other tempered out commas ===
12edo remains consistent within the 9-odd-limit. Therefore, it's worthwhile to explore ratios tempered out in the 7-limit, particularly those with simple factorizations that facilitate quick harmonic operations.

== MOS series ==

Due to the octave equivalence principle inherent in odd-limits, the 5-odd-limit contains only two primes: 3 and 5. As a result, every ratio distinctly tempered in 12-tet possess at least one rank-2 MOS series of 5-odd-limit intervals that tempers them out.
