| '''Polaris''' is a [[tritave]]-repeating [[rank-2 temperament]] that tempers out the comma 177147/171875 in the 3.5.11 subgroup, the amount by which 7 [[5/3]]'s fall short of [[15/11]]. Polaris temperament is to [[Arcturus]] as [[meantone]] temperament is to [[Pythagorean tuning]]. It contains [[MOS scale]]s of the families [[2L 5s (tritave-equivalent)|2L 5s<3/1>]], [[2L 7s (tritave-equivalent)|2L 7s<3/1>]], and [[2L 9s (tritave-equivalent)|2L 9s<3/1>]]. The heptatonic scale is usually extremely lopsided in Polaris temperament (with L:s often exceeding 5:1) so the nonatonic scale is the smallest usable option. The smallest EDT that can seriously claim to support Polaris temperament is [[15edt]], with [[32edt]] also being a good option.
