Auk is a nonoctave regular temperament in the 3/2.7.13 subgroup that tempers out the comma 87808/85293. It thus equates 3 7/1 (fifth-reduced to 112/81) with 13/1 (fifth-reduced to 832/729). The generator when reduced is a superfourth in the neighborhood of 550 cents, representing 112/81. It possesses non-trivial MOS of the families 1L 3s<3/2> ("neptunian"), 4L 1s<3/2>, 5L 4s<3/2>, and 9L 5s<3/2>. 9edf is a particularly good equal temperament that supports it. It contains tempered versions of the chords 1-832/729-112/81 (fifth-reduction of 1:7:13) and 1-63/52-112/81 (fifth-reduction of 1/(13:17:1)).
