'''Dicot''' is a temperament archetype where the generator is a [[Neutral third (interval region)|neutral third]], two of which make a perfect fifth of [[3/2]], and the period is a [[2/1]] octave. Dicot temperaments usually generate the [[7L 3s]] MOS structure, fittingly named "dicoid", and one of its children [[10L 7s]] or [[7L 10s]]. Dicot temperaments tend to involve "neutral" intervals, which are in-between conventional diatonic intervals.

=== Dicot ===
=== Dicot ===
The temperament named "[[dicot]]" is an exotemperament, equating the neutral third to 5/4. This means that 6/5 is the same interval, and the neutral sixth represents both 5/3 and 8/5. It is best tuned with either a sharpened generator of around 360 cents (optimizing for the tuning of 5/4) or a flattened generator of around 340 cents (optimizing for the tuning of 5/3).

[[Neutral]] is the temperament equating [[11/9]] with [[27/22]]. This makes 11/9 the neutral third and [[11/8]] the semiaugmented fourth. [[Namo]] extends neutral so that [[16/13]] is found at the same neutral third. Namo is often used as an 11- and 13-limit extension of other temperaments.

=== Mohajira ===
When neutral is combined with [[meantone]] (which sets the major third equal to [[5/4]]), the result is [[mohajira]], which tunes the generator of ~11/9 to about 348 cents and extends to the full 11-limit by setting 7/4 equal to the semidiminished seventh.

=== Hemififths ===
Fittingly to its name, [[hemififths]] divides the fifth evenly into two [[49/40]]~[[60/49]]<nowiki/>s. 7/4 is the semiaugmented sixth, and consequently 5/4 is the sesqui-augmented (1.5x augmented) second.
