| An '''epimorphic temperament''' of an [[epimorphic]] scale ''S'' on a JI group ''A'' is a temperament supported by its [[epimorphic val]] (linear map ''v'': ''A'' → ℤ such that ''v''(''S''[''i'']) = ''i'') on ''G''. Some [[exotemperament]]s (including vals for small edos) can be used as epimorphic temperaments for small CS scales:
| |
| * The 2.3.5 temperament [[dicot]] supports [[nicetone]] (3L2M2s), [[blackdye]] (5L2M3s) and superzarlino (a 17-form) scale structures.
| |
| * The 2.3.7 temperament [[semaphore]] supports [[archylino]] (2L3M2s), [[diasem]] (5L2M2s), and other scales in the [[Tas series]].

| Theorem: Suppose ''S'' is a 2/1-equivalent increasing constant structure JI scale of length ''n''. Let <math>C_1</math> be the set of 1-steps of ''S'', and suppose that <math>C_1</math> is a ''basis'' for the JI group ''A'' generated by it. Then there exists an epimorphic val <math> v: A \to \mathbb{Z}</math> which is a val of ''n''-edo (and a similar statement holds for other equaves).

| Define <math>v:A \to \mathbb{Z}</math> by defining <math>v(\mathbf{s}) = 1</math> for any step <math>\mathbf{s} \in C_1</math> and extending uniquely by linearity. Then for any <math>i \in \mathbb{Z}</math> we have
