'''Gamelic''' temperament, better known as [[slendric]], tempers out the comma [[1029/1024]] = S7/S8 in the 2.3.7 subgroup, which splits the perfect fifth into three intervals of [[8/7]]. It is one of the most accurate temperaments of its simplicity. While semaphore and archy equate each middle interval of each triplet with either the major or the minor, gamelic makes it a true "neutral" intermediate between them.

The [[DKW theory|DKW]] (2.3.7) optimum tuning states ~3/2 is tuned to 699.126c, and therefore ~8/7 to 233.042c; a chart of mistunings of simple intervals is below.
