- This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.
The hemifamity family of rank-3 temperaments tempers out 5120/5103 (monzo: [10 -6 1 -1⟩), the hemifamity comma. These temperaments divide an exact or approximate septimal quartertone, 36/35 into two equal steps, each representing 81/80~64/63, the syntonic comma or the septimal comma. Therefore, classical and septimal intervals are found by the same chain of fifths inflected by the same comma to the opposite sides. In addition we may identify 10/7 by the augmented fourth (C–F#) and 50/49 by the Pythagorean comma.
It is therefore very handy to adopt an additional module of accidentals such as arrows to represent the syntonic~septimal comma, in which case we have 5/4 at the down major third (C–vE) and 7/4 at the down minor seventh (C–vBb).

Overview to extensions
11- and 13-limit extensions
Strong extensions of hemifamity are pele, laka, akea, and lono. The rest are weak extensions. Using the arrow to represent the syntonic~septimal comma, pele finds the 11/8 at the down diminished fifth (C–vGb); laka, up augmented third (C–^E#); akea, double-up fourth (C–^^F); lono, triple-down augmented fourth (C–v3F#). All these extensions follow the trend of tuning the fifth a little sharp. Thus a successful mapping of 13 can be found by fixing the 13/11 at the minor third (C–Eb), tempering out 352/351, 847/845, and 2080/2079.
Subgroup extensions
A notable 2.3.5.7.19 subgroup extension, counterpyth, is given right below.
Counterpyth
Developed analogous to parapyth, counterpyth is an extension of hemifamity with an even milder fifth, as it finds 19/15 at the major third (C–E) and 19/10 at the major seventh (C–B). Notice the factorization 5120/5103 = (400/399)⋅(1216/1215). Other important ratios are 21/19 at the diminished third (C–Ebb) and 19/14 at the augmented third (C–E#).
It can be further extended via the mappings of laka or akea, while working less well with pele or lono due to their much sharper fifths.
