<h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>
Pseudo-semaphore is a weird temperament in which the third harmonic does not have a single consistent mapping. If you want to force it into the regular mapping paradigm you have to think of it as a 2.3.3'.7 temperament.

It's called "pseudo-semaphore" because it has the same MOS structure as [[semaphore]], but 49/48 is not tempered out. Perhaps it's better to think of it as [[Superpyth|superpyth]] in which the 4/3 generator has been split in half forming a weird interval that's neither 8/7 nor 7/6.
