== Unthirds ==

~~The generator for~~ unthirds temperament is ~~undecimal~~ major third, 14/11.

Despite the complexity of its mapping, unthirds is an important temperament to the structure of the [[11-limit]]; this is hinted at by unthirds' representation as the [[72edo|72]] & [[311edo|311]] temperament, the [[Temperament merging|join]] of two tuning systems well-known for their high accuracy in the 11-limit and [[41-limit]] respectively. It is generated by the interval of [[14/11]] ('''un'''decimal major '''third''', hence the name) tuned less than a cent flat, and the 23-note [[MOS]] this interval generates serves as a well temperament of, of all things, [[23edo]]. The 49-note MOS is needed to access the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 11th harmonics, however.

The commas it tempers out include the [[breedsma]] (2401/2400), the [[lehmerisma]] (3025/3024), the [[pine comma]] (4000/3993), the [[unisquary comma]] (12005/11979), the [[argyria]] (41503/41472), and 42875/42768, all of which appear individually in various 11-limit systems. It is also notable that there is a [[restriction]] of the temperament to the 2.5/3.7/3.11/3 [[fractional subgroup]] that tempers out 3025/3024 and 12005/11979, which is of considerably less complexity, and which is shared with [[sqrtphi]] (whose generator is tuned flat of 72edo's).
