Since {{nowrap|(6/5)<sup>3</sup> {{=}} (126/125)⋅(12/7)}}, these temperaments tend to have a relatively small complexity for 6/5. They also possess the [[starling tetrad]], the 6/5–6/5–6/5–7/6 versions of the diminished seventh chord. Since this is a chord of meantone temperament in wide use in Western common practice harmony long before [[12edo]] established itself as the standard tuning, it is actually three stacked minor thirds and an augmented second, contrary to the popular belief that it is four stacked minor thirds. | |||

7-limit myna is naturally found by establishing a structure of thirds, by making [[7/6]]–[[6/5]]–[[49/40]]–[[5/4]]–[[9/7]] all equidistant (the distances between which are [[36/35]], [[49/48]], and [[50/49]]). 11-limit myna then arises from equating this neutral third to [[11/9]]. Myna's characteristic feature is that the pental thirds are tuned outwards so that the chroma between them ([[25/24]]) is twice the size of the interval between the pental and septimal thirds ([[36/35]]) | 7-limit myna is naturally found by establishing a structure of thirds, by making [[7/6]]–[[6/5]]–[[49/40]]–[[5/4]]–[[9/7]] all equidistant (the distances between which are [[36/35]], [[49/48]], and [[50/49]]). [[11-limit]] myna then arises from equating this neutral third to [[11/9]]. Myna's characteristic feature is that the pental thirds are tuned outwards so that the chroma between them ([[25/24]]) is twice the size of the interval between the pental and septimal thirds ([[36/35]]). In that sense, it is opposed to [[keemic temperaments]], in particular [[quasitemp]], where the distance between the pental and septimal thirds is the same as the chroma between the pental thirds and different from the septimal dieses. | ||
In terms of commas | In terms of vanishing commas, in addition to 126/125, myna adds [[1728/1715]], the orwell comma, and [[2401/2400]], the breedsma. It can also be described as the {{nowrap| 27 & 31 }} temperament, and has a [[ploidacot]] signature of beta-decacot. It has [[~]][[6/5]] as a generator. | ||
[[58edo]] can be used as a tuning, with [[89edo]] being a better one, and fans of round cent values may like [[120edo]]. It is also possible to tune myna with pure fifths by taking 6<sup>1/10</sup> as the generator. Myna extends naturally but with much increased complexity to the 11- and 13-limit. | |||

Vines may be described as the {{nowrap| 46 & 50 }} temperament. It has a [[semi-octave]] period and a [[~]][[6/5]] generator. Eight generators minus three periods give the [[3/2|perfect fifth]], so the [[ploidacot]] for the temperament is diploid gamma-octacot. [[96edo]] in the 96d val may be recommended as a tuning. | |||

Named by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2026, xenial may be described as the {{nowrap| 19 & 70 }} temperament, splitting the [[8/3|perfect eleventh]] into nine equal parts, each for ~[[10/9]]. Equivalently, a stack of nine [[9/5]]s is equated with the [[3/2|perfect fifth]] above 7 [[2/1|octave]]s, so the [[ploidacot]] for the temperament is zeta-enneacot, and from this it derives its name. | |||
