; Blackwood family (P8/5, ^1)
: This family tempers out the [[limma]], {{monzo| 8 -5 }} (256/243). It equates 5 fifths with 3 octaves, which creates multiple copies of [[5edo]]. The fifth is ~720¢, quite sharp. The only member of this family is the [[blackwood]] temperament, which is 5-limit. Blackwood's edo copies are offset from one another by 5/4, or alternatively by 81/80. 5/4 is usually tempered sharp, perhaps ~400¢, to match the sharp 5th. Its color name is Sawati.

: This low-accuracy family of temperaments tempers out [[27/25]], the large limma or bug comma. The generator is an approximate 6/5 or {{nowrap| 10/9 {{=}} ~250¢ }}, two of which make ~4/3. 5/4 is equated to 1 octave minus 3 generators. Its color name is Guguti. An obvious 7-limit interpretation of the generator is 7/6~8/7, which leads to semaphore or Zozoti.
