	Octacot ~~cuts~~ the ~~Gordian knot of deciding~~ between the [[#Monkey\|monkey]] and [[#Bunya\|bunya]] mappings for 7 by cutting the generator in half ~~and splitting the difference~~. It adds [[245/243]] to the normal comma list, and also tempers out [[2401/2400]]. It may also be described as {{nowrap\| 41 & 68 }}. [[68edo]] or [[109edo]] can be used as tunings, as can (5/2)<sup>1/18</sup>, which gives just major thirds. Another tuning is [[150edo]], which has a generator, 11\150, of exactly 88 cents. This relates octacot to the [[88cET]] non-octave temperament, which like [[Carlos Alpha]] arguably makes more sense viewed as part of a rank-2 temperament with octaves rather than rank-1 without them.

	=== Overview to extensions ===		=== Overview to extensions ===
			==== Subgroup extensions ====
			Since the generator in all reasonable tunings is between 10/9 and [[11/10]], it is natural to extend tetracot to the [[11-limit]] by tempering out (10/9)/(11/10) = [[100/99]]. This gives the [[2.3.5.11 subgroup\|2.3.5.11-subgroup]] version of tetracot, dispensing with 7. For this, [[41edo]] can be used as a tuning.

			Since [[16/13]] is shy of (10/9)<sup>2</sup> by just [[325/324]], it is likewise natural to extend our winning streak by adding this to the list of commas. This gives us [[2.3.5.11.13 subgroup\|2.3.5.11.13-subgroup]] tetracot, which tempers out 100/99, [[144/143]] and [[243/242]], with the [[S-expression]]-based comma list {[[243/242\|S9/S11]], [[100/99\|S10]], [[144/143\|S12]]}.

			==== Full 7-limit extensions ====
	The second comma of the comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. [[875/864]], the keema, gives monkey. [[225/224]] gives bunya. [[64/63]] gives modus. [[126/125]] gives wollemia. These all use the same generators as tetracot.		The second comma of the comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. [[875/864]], the keema, gives monkey. [[225/224]] gives bunya. [[64/63]] gives modus. [[126/125]] gives wollemia. These all use the same generators as tetracot.

	[[245/243]] gives octacot, which splits the generator in halves. [[3125/3087]] gives dodecacot, which splits the generator in thirds. [[50/49]] gives weasel, which splits the period in halves.		[[245/243]] gives octacot, which splits the generator in halves. [[3125/3087]] gives dodecacot, which splits the generator in thirds. [[50/49]] gives weasel, which splits the period in halves.

	~~==== Monkey and bunya ====~~
	Monkey tempers out the keema. The keema, 875/864, is the amount by which three just minor thirds fall short of 7/4, and tells us the ~7/4 of monkey is reached by three minor thirds in succession. It can be described as the {{nowrap\| 34 & 41 }} temperament. [[41edo]] is an excellent tuning for monkey, and has the effect of making monkey identical to bunya with the same tuning.

	Bunya adds 225/224 to the list of commas and may be described as the {{nowrap\| 34d & 41 }} temperament. 41edo can again be used as a tuning, in which case it is the same as monkey. However an excellent alternative is 14<sup>1/26</sup> as a generator, giving just ~7's and an improved value for ~5, at the cost of a slightly sharper, but still less than a cent sharp, fifth. Octave stretching, if employed, also serves to distinguish bunya from monkey, as its octaves should be stretched considerably less.

	Since the generator in all cases is between 10/9 and 11/10, it is natural to extend these temperaments to the 11-limit by tempering out (10/9)/(11/10) = [[100/99]]. This gives 11-limit monkey and 11-limit bunya. Again, 41edo can be used as a tuning, making the two identical, which is also the case if we turn to the [[2.3.5.11 subgroup\|2.3.5.11-subgroup]] temperament, dispensing with 7. However, 11-limit bunya, like 7-limit bunya, profits a little from a slightly sharper fifth, such as the 14<sup>1/26</sup> generator supplies, or even sharper yet, as for instance by the val {{val\| 355 563 823 997 1230 }}, with a 52/355 generator.

	Since [[16/13]] is shy of (10/9)<sup>2</sup> by just [[325/324]], it is likewise natural to extend our winning streak with these temperaments by adding this to the list of commas. This gives us 13-limit monkey and 13-limit bunya. Once again, 41edo is recommended as a tuning for monkey, while bunya can with advantage tune the fifth sharper: 17\116 as a generator with a fifth a cent and a half sharp or 11\75 with a fifth two cents sharp.

	~~==== Subgroup extensions ====~~
	As discussed above, tetracot works well for the 2.3.5.11.13 subgroup, in which it tempers out 100/99, 144/143 and 243/242, considered right below. The [[S-expression]]-based comma list of this temperament is {[[243/242\|S9/S11]], [[100/99\|S10]], [[144/143\|S12]]}.

	Octacot cuts the Gordian knot of deciding between the monkey and bunya mappings for 7 by cutting the generator in half and splitting the difference. It adds [[245/243]] to the normal comma list, and also tempers out [[2401/2400]]. It may also be described as {{nowrap\| 41 & 68 }}. [[68edo]] or [[109edo]] can be used as tunings, as can (5/2)<sup>1/18</sup>, which gives just major thirds. Another tuning is [[150edo]], which has a generator, 11\150, of exactly 88 cents. This relates octacot to the [[88cET]] non-octave temperament, which like [[Carlos Alpha]] arguably makes more sense viewed as part of a rank-2 temperament with octaves rather than rank-1 without them.
