11/10 is approximated extremely precisely by [[80edo]] and its multiples, with a chain of 80 11/10's failing to close at the octave by a mere third of a [[cent]], close enough that you could theoretically tune an instrument to 80edo by ear using it if you had the patience. 11/10 is also approximated within 2 cents by [[22edo]], and is 4c sharp of an octave-reduced stack of 9 generators in [[BPS]].

Using 11/10 as a generator tempering out 4000/3993 (as previously mentioned) leads to scales that look like [[porcupine]] but whose harmonies can more accurately be explained. A half-octave period is exceptionally natural when 11/10 is a generator, because by virtue of making the (extremely accurate) approximation of the half-octave by [[99/70]], [[9/7]] is found as the period-complement of the generator. Taking this approach, this gives us temperaments in the [[stearnsmic clan]] such as [[pogo]], [[supers]], or [[echidna]], all of which detemper [[100/99]] ~ [[121/120]] and accurately find [[11-limit]] and (no-13's) [[17-limit]] harmonies. Of these, echidna's mapping of the no-13's 17-limit is the simplest, though all three have the same mapping of the 2.3.7.11/10.17 subgroup so that they only differ on the mapping of 5 and 11. The complexity of 5 and 11 in pogo are used to increase accuracy, being a weak schismic extension. That leaves supers as the odd one out; if you are using an edo tuning for it, 58edo supports echidna while 94edo supports pogo, so it seems to exist as a portable alternate way of finding primes 5 and 11 across systems, unless you use the 152edo tuning, which requires using the second-best mapping of 13 (the 152f [[val]]).
Using 11/10 as a generator and tempering out 4000/3993 (as previously mentioned) leads to temperaments that look like [[porcupine]] but whose harmonies have higher accuracy. A [[semi-octave]] period is exceptionally natural when 11/10 is a generator, because by virtue of making the extremely accurate approximation of the half-octave by [[99/70]], [[9/7]] is found as the period-complement of the generator. Taking this approach, this gives us temperaments in the [[stearnsmic clan]] such as [[pogo]], [[supers]], or [[echidna]], all of which observe [[100/99]][[~]][[121/120]] and find accurate [[11-limit]] and no-13's [[17-limit]] harmonies. The three temperaments have the same mapping in the 2.3.7.11/5.17 subgroup and only differ on the mapping of 5 and 11. Of these, echidna's mapping of the no-13's 17-limit is the simplest. The complexity of pogo rewards you with increased accuracy, being a weak schismic extension, and supers shows an intermediate path between them.  


Using sqrt(11/10) (22/21[[~]]21/20) as a generator leads to the low-complexity [[Nautilus]] with one period to the octave, and if you use two periods to the octave with this generator you get the high-accuracy temperament [[Harry]]; using cbrt(11/10) as a generator leads to [[Escapade]] with one period to the octave.
