As a temperament in the 3.5 [[subgroup]], it tempers out [[27/25]], equating 5/3 with 9/5.
As a temperament in the [[3.5 subgroup]], it tempers out [[27/25]], equating 5/3 with 9/5. Because of this, it is related to the [[bug]] temperament. In fact, removing octaves from the [[bug]] temperament results in a 3.5 interpretation of 2edt.


Since [[26/15]] is a [[convergent]] of sqrt(3), 26/15 (and its [[tritave complement]] 45/26) are good rational representations of the square root of 3. 2edt thus tempers out (26/15)<sup>2</sup> / (3/1) = [[676/675]], the island comma.

One step of 2edt can represent the generator for any rank-2 octavated temperament which takes 2 generators to reach the 3rd harmonic, such as [[monzismic]].
