The '''octaphore''', also known as the '''enneagari comma''', is a [[small comma|small]] [[7-limit]] (also 2.3.7-[[subgroup]]) [[comma]] measuring about 5.64 [[cent]]s. 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|garischisma (33554432/33480783)]] and the [[septimal ennealimma|septimal ennealimma (40353607/40310784)]].

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.

=== 2.3.7 Unicorn ===
==== Undecimal octaphore ====
{{ See also | Unicorn }}
By noticing that the interval at {{monzo| 4 2 -2 }} is quite close to 11/8, we can add prime 11 to the mapping by tempering out the [[reef comma]].
If we temper 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 [[126/125]].

==== 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 [[729/728|squbema]], or equivalently by tempering out the [[28812/28561|tesseract comma]].

=== Unicorn (2.3.7 subgroup) ===
{{See also | Unicorn }}
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]].
