reduced harmonic
Rarity comma is a 5-limit interval, which when tempered out produces the rarity temperament.
Temperaments
Tempering it out produces rarity temperament in the 5-limit. On it's own it is quite a large interval, being the size of a neutral second, however each individual generator step of the temperament is flattened by a small amount which is evenly spread out in the scale.
