The bunya temperament is one of the 7-limit extensions of tetracot, the 5-limit temperament tempering out the tetracot comma (20000/19683), and is naturally a full 13-limit temperament.

In addition to the tetracot comma, bunya tempers out 225/224, making it a marvel temperament. This means the ~15/8, at 13 generator steps, is equated with ~28/15, and ~7/4 is found as twice of that interval.

Additionally, the generator can be taken to represent 21/19, which gives us an extension for prime 19 at +29 generator steps.
