The octaphore, also known as the enneagari comma, is a small 7-limit (also 2.3.7-subgroup) comma measuring about 5.64 cents. It is so named because it is the amount by which eight 28/27 third-tones exceed the 4/3 perfect fourth. It can also be found as the amount by which seven 28/27 third-tones exceed the 9/7 supermajor third, or as the sum of the garischisma (33554432/33480783) and the septimal ennealimma (40353607/40310784).

Temperaments

Tempering out the octaphore comma in the full 7-limit leads to rank-3 octaphore temperament, and excluding prime 5 from the subgroup leads to the 2.3.7 subgroup rank-2 unicorn temperament.

Undecimal octaphore

By noticing that the interval at [4 2 -2 is quite close to 11/8, we can add prime 11 to the mapping by tempering out the reef comma.

Subgroup: 2.3.5.7.11

Comma list: 200704/200475, 94450499584/94143178827

Optimal tuning (POTE): ~2 = 1200.000, ~28/27 = 62.233, ~5/4 = 386.481

Tridecimal octaphore

By noticing that two generators is extremely close to 14/13, we can add prime 13 to the mapping by tempering out the squbema, or equivalently by tempering out the tesseract comma.

Subgroup: 2.3.5.7.11.13

Comma list: 729/728, 3584/3575, 660275/657072

Unicorn (2.3.7 subgroup)

If we temper out the octaphore in its minimal prime subgroup of 2.3.7, we get the 2.3.7-subgroup version of unicorn, where it finds prime 5 by interpreting five gens as a flat ~6/5 by tempering out 126/125.
