Superlimmal is essentially an 80-form, and may be described as the {{nowrap| 80 & 311 }} temperament. It uses an ever slightly sharpened [[27/25|large limma]] as the generator, nine exceed the octave by [[126/125]]. Note that in the data that follow, the generator is its [[octave complement]], [[~]][[50/27]], so that 57 of them [[octave reduction|octave reduced]] make the [[3/2|perfect fifth]]. | Superlimmal is essentially an 80-form, and may be described as the {{nowrap| 80 & 311 }} temperament.

Superlimmal gets all the primes up to [[29/1|29]] reasonably covered, but is acceptable just as a 13-limit microtemperament, given a relatively simple [[comma basis]]. It can also be extended to include prime [[37/1|37]] by tempering out ([[27/25]])/([[40/37]]) = [[1000/999]] | Superlimmal gets all the primes up to [[29/1|29]] reasonably covered, but is acceptable just as a 13-limit microtemperament, given a relatively simple [[comma basis]]. It can also be extended to include prime [[37/1|37]] by mapping it to 87 generator steps, tempering out ([[27/25]])/([[40/37]]) = [[1000/999]]. Since 40/37 is the mediant of [[27/25]] and [[13/12]], this extension further consolidates the sharpened limma. | ||
