Equivalently, the generator could be a semifourth, two of which make a [[4/3]], so '''omega-dicot''' means the same thing and is unused.
 
'''Alpha-dicot''' is a temperament archetype where the generator is a [[Interseptimal interval|semitwelfth]], two of which make a perfect twelfth of [[3/1]], and the period is a [[2/1]] octave. Equivalently, the generator could be a semifourth, two of which make a [[4/3]], so '''omega-dicot''' means the same thing and is unused.


Alpha-dicot temperaments usually generate the [[5L 4s]] MOS structure, named "semiquartal" after the semifourth generator, as well as the child scale [[5L 9s]]. Alpha-dicot temperaments tend to involve interseptimal intervals, which are in between conventional diatonic intervals.

Here, the generator actually is 26/15, equated with [[45/26]]. This is a rather accurate temperament, tempering out the small comma of [[676/675]], but it is defined in the awkward 2.3.13/5 subgroup. The semifourth here is [[15/13]][[~]][[52/45]].
Here, the generator actually is 26/15, equated with [[45/26]]. This is an accurate temperament, tempering out the unnoticeable comma of [[676/675]], but it is defined in the awkward 2.3.13/5 subgroup. The semifourth here is [[15/13]][[~]][[52/45]].


As the comma is so small, the best tunings are close to just. The semitwelfth is around 951{{c}}, leading to a near-just twelfth.
