11/10 is approximated extremely precisely by [[80edo]] and its multiples, with a chain of 80 11/10's failing to close at the octave by a mere third of a [[cent]], close enough that you could theoretically tune an instrument to 80edo by ear using it if you had the patience. 11/10 is also approximated within 2 cents by [[22edo]], and is 4c sharp of an octave-reduced stack of 9 generators in [[BPS]].

Using 11/10 as a generator tempering out 4000/3993 (as previously mentioned) leads to scales that look like [[porcupine]] but whose harmonies can more accurately be explained. With a half-octave period, a generator of 11/10 leads to temperaments in the [[stearnsmic clan]] such as [[pogo]], [[supers]], or [[echidna]], all of which detemper [[100/99]] and [[121/120]] and efficiently and accurately find [[11-limit]] and (no-13's) [[17-limit]] harmonies.
Using 11/10 as a generator and tempering out 4000/3993 (as previously mentioned) leads to temperaments that look like [[porcupine]] but whose harmonies have higher accuracy. A [[semi-octave]] period is exceptionally natural when 11/10 is a generator, because by virtue of making the extremely accurate approximation of the half-octave by [[99/70]], [[9/7]] is found as the period-complement of the generator. Taking this approach, this gives us temperaments in the [[stearnsmic clan]] such as [[pogo]], [[supers]], or [[echidna]], all of which observe [[100/99]][[~]][[121/120]] and find accurate [[11-limit]] and no-13's [[17-limit]] harmonies. The three temperaments have the same mapping in the 2.3.7.11/5.17 subgroup and only differ on the mapping of 5 and 11. Of these, echidna's mapping of the no-13's 17-limit is the simplest. The complexity of pogo rewards you with increased accuracy, being a weak schismic extension, and supers shows an intermediate path between them.  


Using sqrt(11/10) as a generator leads to low-complexity [[Nautilus]] with one period to the octave and high-accuracy [[Harry]] with two periods; using cbrt(11/10) as a generator leads to [[Escapade]] with one period to the octave.
Using sqrt(11/10) ([[21/20]]~[[22/21]]) as a generator leads to the low-complexity [[nautilus]] with one period to the octave, and if you use two periods to the octave with this generator you get the high-accuracy temperament [[harry]]; using cbrt(11/10) as a generator leads to [[escapade]] with one period to the octave.
