For example, both septimal meantone and flattone are strong extensions of 5-limit meantone since they all share the same period ([[2/1]]) and generator ([[4/3]]). [[Godzilla]] is a weak extension of meantone, since it splits [[4/3]] in two and uses half 4/3 as the generator, but a strong extension of [[semaphore]] since in the 2.3.7 subgroup it is identical to semaphore, while adding a mapping of 5 from meantone.

In any case, a strong extension can be identified by having a [[mapping]] identical to that of the original temperament on the (formal) primes the original temperament ~~covers~~, while weak extensions have a mapping that either subdivides the [[equave]] into more [[period]]s or the elements of whose second row that cover the original set of primes are a common multiple of those of the original temperament. Additionally, a strong extension's [[pergen]] is the same as the original temperament's pergen.

In any case, a strong extension can be identified by having a [[mapping]] identical to that of the original temperament on the (formal) primes the original temperament includes, while weak extensions have a mapping that either subdivides the [[equave]] into more [[period]]s or the elements of whose second row that cover the original set of primes are a common multiple of those of the original temperament. Additionally, a strong extension's [[pergen]] is the same as the original temperament's pergen.
