: This temperament was found during my exploration of 212edo. Actually, your description of the Alpharabian comma never impressed me.

: If A is a 3- or 5-limit comma, ''X family'' is for rank-2 temperaments that temper it out.
: If A is a 7-limit comma, ''X family'' is for rank-3 temperaments that temper it out, and ''X temperaments'' is for rank-2 temperaments that temper it out (''X clan'' if the comma is a subgroup comma). See: [[Marvel family]], [[Marvel temperaments]].
: If A is an 11-limit comma, ''X family'' is for rank-4 temperaments that temper it out, and ''X temperaments'' is for rank-3 temperaments that temper it out. If the ''X family'' page isn't there (as it doesn't have many 13-limit branches), in ''X temperaments'' there is a brief of the rank-4 temperaments. See: [[Keenanismic family]], [[Valinorsmic temperaments]], [[Kalismic temperaments]].
: If A is an 13-limit comma, afaik there are only three such pages: [[The Archipelago]], [[The Biosphere]], [[Marveltwin]], which list temperaments of various ranks.
: Following on, I suggest moving the ''Alpharabian family'' to ''Alpharabian temperaments''. ''Betarabian'' may be listed in both [[Rastmic temperaments]] and ''Alpharabian temperaments''. This 22 & 46 & 72 temperament was meant to be listed in the to-be-created ''Keenanismic temperaments'', but maybe viable for both.

So... this is why you were interested the the Alpharabian comma... I have to admit I'm surprised that a comma I only recently named has come into your focus... Suffice to say that I like your proposed temperament name of "Quasiquarter". Nevertheless, this particular temperament seems to belong on a page for the Alpharabian family of temperaments. --Aura (talk) 18:23, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

One more thing... I think I'll let you do the honor of filling in the info on the Alpharabian family temperament page... --Aura (talk) 18:54, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

This temperament was found during my exploration of 212edo. Actually, your description of the Alpharabian comma never impressed me. At first I thought it was a brand new comma cuz my comprehension of it was the difference of a whole tone and a stack of four 33/32 quartertones, and I was even thinking about names. Turns out it's identical to your findings.
As for how it belongs to temperament pages, here's the current naming scheme in this wiki (thoroughly figured out):
If A is a 3- or 5-limit comma, X family is for rank-2 temperaments that temper it out.
If A is a 7-limit comma, X family is for rank-3 temperaments that temper it out, and X temperaments is for rank-2 temperaments that temper it out (X clan if the comma is a subgroup comma). See: Marvel family, Marvel temperaments.
If A is an 11-limit comma, X family is for rank-4 temperaments that temper it out, and X temperaments is for rank-3 temperaments that temper it out. If the X family page isn't there (as it doesn't have many 13-limit branches), in X temperaments there is a brief of the rank-4 temperaments. See: Keenanismic family, Valinorsmic temperaments, Kalismic temperaments.
If A is an 13-limit comma, afaik there are only three such pages: The Archipelago, The Biosphere, Marveltwin, which list temperaments of various ranks.
Following on, I suggest moving the Alpharabian family to Alpharabian temperaments. Betarabian may be listed in both Rastmic temperaments and Alpharabian temperaments. This 22 & 46 & 72 temperament was meant to be listed in the to-be-created Keenanismic temperaments, but maybe viable for both. FloraC (talk) 06:48, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
