{{Breadcrumb}}{{Infobox ploidacot|Ploids=1|Shears=0|Cots=3|Pergen=[P8, P5/3]|Forms=5, 11, 16|Title=Tricot}}'''Tricot''' is a temperament archetype where the generator is a supermajor second, three of which stack to form a perfect fifth of [[3/2]], and the period is a [[2/1]] octave. Tricot temperaments usually generate the [[5L 1s]] and [[5L 6s]] MOS structures. Tricot temperaments produce "supermajor" and "subminor" intervals, splitting the diatonic semitone into three parts.

== Intervals and notation ==
While there is no agreed-upon notation system for tricot, the following is based on interpreting the generator as a supermajor second, allowing for an ^ or v to stand for 1/3 of a diatonic semitone, so ^^C and vDb are enharmonic.

A notable feature of tricot is the small diesis, known as the [[quark]], encountered after 5 steps, which represents one-third of a [[diatonic semitone]]. This makes tricot scales cluster around [[5edo]].

[[Slendric]] is the most obvious [[7-limit]] interpretation of tricot, where the generator is [[8/7]] and three of them stack to make [[3/2]]. It is best tuned with a slightly flattened 3/2, or equivalently a slightly sharpened 8/7, but the just tuning of either works.

[[Rodan]] is an extension to slendric which finds 5/4 at 17 generators up, or the submajor third in the notation provided, and is tuned with a slightly sharpened fifth.

==== Guiron ====
[[Guiron]] is an extension to slendric which finds 5/4 at 24 generators down (diminished fourth), tempering out the [[schisma]].
