If we instead mean "parapyth" to refer to [[etypyth]] – its most elegant extension to the no-5's 17-limit (so we ignore [[100/99|S10]] and [[121/120|S11]]) – then the minimal strict etypyth (a.k.a. [[etypyth|17-limit parapyth]]) is [[46edo]], although this requires accepting its [[21/17]] as standing in for ~[[16/13]] and ~[[26/21]], corresponding roughly to (the [[octave complement]] of) [[acoustic phi]] so that stacking this interval gives a ~17:21:26:32 chord. The benefit of taking this no-5's interpretation is you do not deal with any conceptual issues arising from an out-of-tune [[15/13]] in 46edo, but you could deal with this alternately by interpreting simply only in the [[13-odd-limit]] adding odds 17, 21 and 23, which highlights that a benefit of 46edo is a fairly accurate [[23/16]] in the usual parapyth mapping of a tritone (C–F♯), tempering out {{nowrap| ([[23/16]])/[[729/512|(9/8)<sup>3</sup>]] {{=}} [[736/729]] }}. Alternatively, if you want a more accurate [[9/7]], [[7/6]], [[13/11]], [[104edo]] is an excellent etypyth tuning. 104edo is a dual-5 system that supports both the [[sensamagic]] (104) and [[pele]] (104c) mappings of 5, so that the combined [[25/16]] is very accurate (tempered together with the 81/52 (C–vG♯), distinguished from [[11/7]] (C–A♭) and [[14/9]] (C–^G) simultaneously). Pele may be preferable as a default due to it observing [[100/99|S10]] and [[121/120|S11]]. Sensamagic has the capacity to observe them too, but in the specific case of 104edo it tempers out S10.
