'''Antipyth''' is a [[5/1]]-equivalent 5.7.11 [[subgroup temperament]] which tempers out 859375/823543. It is suitable for extremely xenharmonic music where the primes 2 and 3 are both eliminated (hence the name).
'''Antipyth''' is the [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] of the 5.7.11 [[subgroup]] that [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[859375/823543]].  
 
It is suitable for extremely [[xenharmonic]] music where the primes 2 and 3 are both eliminated (hence the name), and where [[pentave]] [[equivalence]] may be assumed instead of the usual [[octave equivalence]]. In antipyth, the generator is a sharp [[7/5]] and 7 are needed to reach [[11/5]].

== Supporting equal-step tunings ==
[[19ed5]] is the first somewhat accurate ET [[support]]ing antipyth, containing the basic tuning of the 5L 9s{{angbr|5/1}} MOS, although the 11/5 is still smeary at 1319 cents, a minor ninth rather than a sharp [[neutral]] ninth. If the range limitation of [[ed5]]s is too restrictive, this temperament can be used with alternative [[period]]s such as [[11/5]] or [[11/7]].
 
== Etymology ==
From ''anti-'' ("opposite of") and ''pyth'' (abbreviation of [[Pythagorean]]).
