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.

Named by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2026, paraguay tempers out [[12005/11664]] and may be described as the {{nowrap| 19 & 61 }} temperament. It is a variant of [[parakleismic]], mapping 7th harmonic to 16 generators.
