The name of this temperament family stomps on a well-established musical term that means something entirely different. It introduces needless ambiguity in phrases like “augmented triad”, “augmented fifth”, and “augmented seventh chord”. This temperament family should be renamed to something less confusing to allow the mainstream terminology to remain unambiguous.

: This temperament family was so named exactly for how the augmented triad in mainstream (12edo) works, as besides that the fifth is of the "augmented" interval quality, this chord requires mapping the major third to 1/3 of the octave. | |||
