Octacot cuts the Gordian knot of deciding between the [[#Monkey|monkey]] and [[#Bunya|bunya]] mappings for 7 by cutting the generator in half and splitting the difference. It adds [[245/243]] to the normal comma list, and also tempers out [[2401/2400]]. It may also be described as {{nowrap| 41 & 68 }}. [[68edo]] or [[109edo]] can be used as tunings, as can (5/2)<sup>1/18</sup>, which gives just major thirds. Another tuning is [[150edo]], which has a generator, 11\150, of exactly 88 cents. This relates octacot to the [[88cET]] non-octave temperament, which like [[Carlos Alpha]] arguably makes more sense viewed as part of a rank-2 temperament with octaves rather than rank-1 without them.

Once again and for the same reasons, it is natural to add 100/99 and 325/324 to the list of commas. Generators of 3\41, 8\109 and 11\150 (88 cents) are all good choices for the 7, 11 and 13 limits.

The canonical mapping finds 13/8 at +15 generators rather than using the regular tetracot mapping, in order to find [[15/13]] as being half of [[4/3]].

The alternative extension uses the same mapping of 13 as in tetracot, though many other intervals of 13 take more generators to reach as a result.
