The 5-limit parent comma for the '''augmented family''' is [[128/125]], the diesis. The [[period]] is 1/3 octave, and this is what is used for 5/4, the classical major third. The [[generator]] can be taken as a fifth or a semitone, and [[12edo]], with its excellent fifth, is an obvious tuning for [[5-limit]] augmented, though a sharper fifth might be preferred to go with the sharp third.
The '''augmented family''' of [[regular temperament|temperaments]] [[tempering out|tempers out]] the diesis a.k.a. augmented comma, [[128/125]], the amount by which three [[5/4]] major thirds fall short of an [[2/1|octave]], and so identifies the major third with the 1/3-octave. Hence it has the same 400-cent 5/4-approximations as [[12edo]].

The second comma of the [[Normal lists #Normal interval list|normal comma list]] defines which [[7-limit]] family member we are looking at. August adds [[36/35]], augene [[64/63]], hexe [[256/245]], hemiaug [[245/243]], and triforce [[49/48]]. Hexe splits the [[period]] to 1/6 octave, and hemiaug the [[generator]], giving quartertones instead of semitones.

Augene tempers out 64/63 and 126/125. It may be described as the {{nowrap| 12 & 15 }} temperament. [[27edo]] and [[39edo]] in the 39d val make for good tunings.

August tempers out 36/35 and 225/224. It may be described as the {{nowrap| 9 & 12 }} temperament. Unlike augene, august calls for a flat tuning of the fifth, and besides [[12edo]], [[21edo]] is among the possible tunings.

Hemiaug tempers out 245/243 and may be described as {{nowrap| 24 & 27 }}. The generator may be taken as ~14/9, but also a neutral third or a neutral second that stand in for 11/9~16/13 and 12/11~13/12 in the higher limits, respectively. Hemiaug's ploidacot is triploid dicot. [[27edo]] makes for a recommendable tuning in the 7-limit, but [[51edo]] serves better in the higher limits.
