'''Antipyth''' is the [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] of the 5.7.11 [[subgroup]] that [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[859375/823543]].  
'''Antipyth''' is the [[rank]]-2 [[regular temperament]] on the 5.7.11 [[subgroup]] that [[tempers out]] [[859375/823543]]. It is suitable for extremely [[xenharmonic]] music where the primes 2 and 3 are both eliminated (hence the name), and where [[pentave]] [[equivalence]] may be assumed instead of the usual [[octave equivalence]]. In antipyth, the generator is a sharp [[7/5]] and 7 are needed to reach [[11/5]]. [[19ed5]] is the first somewhat accurate ET [[support]]ing antipyth, containing the basic tuning of the 5L 9s⟨5/1⟩ MOS, although the 11/5 is still smeary at 1319 cents, a minor ninth rather than a sharp [[neutral]] ninth. If the range limitation of [[ed5]]s is too restrictive, this temperament can be used with alternative [[period]]s such as [[11/5]] or [[11/7]].

[[19ed5]] is the first somewhat accurate ET [[support]]ing antipyth, containing the basic tuning of the 5L 9s{{angbr|5/1}} MOS, although the 11/5 is still smeary at 1319 cents, a minor ninth rather than a sharp [[neutral]] ninth. If the range limitation of [[ed5]]s is too restrictive, this temperament can be used with alternative [[period]]s such as [[11/5]] or [[11/7]].
