Any rank-2 temperament of the 2.3.… subgroup has an octave, and it | Any rank-2 temperament of the 2.3.… subgroup has an octave, and it may split the octave into a number of parts, or [[period]]s, called '''ploids'''. The temperament's number of ploids per octave is specified by a Greek numeral prefix (di-, tri-, etc.) and -ploid. For instance, pajara divides the octave into two, so it is diploid. Temperaments that do not divide the octave are called haploid (''not'' *monoploid), which can be omitted. | ||
