All temperaments on this page have a period that is 1/26th of an octave~~. However, the {{monzo| -41 26 }} comma is not tempered out. Thus the 3/2 is not that of [[26edo]]. However, 7/4 is, as is 11/8 in the bosonic temperaments~~.

All temperaments on this page have a period that is 1/26th of an octave.

26edo is very accurate for 7th harmonic, the [[26-7-comma]] ({{monzo| 73 0 0 -26 }}, the amount by which 26 septimal whole tones ([[8/7]]) exceed 5 octaves) is tempered out by 26-fold multiple edos up to 1456 (such as [[26edo|26-]], [[130edo|130-]], [[286edo|286-]] or [[546edo|546edo]]).

The [[26-comma]], {{monzo| -41 26 }}, is technically usable for regular temperament purposes, however it makes a very imprecise temperament, only supported by 26edo itself and [[52edo]]. Thus, 26th-octave temperaments which are of musical interest typically do not inherit the flattone approximation of 3/2 which is found in [[26edo]].

However, 7/4 is frequently inherited, as 26edo is very accurate for 7th harmonic, the [[26-7-comma]] ({{monzo| 73 0 0 -26 }}, the amount by which 26 septimal whole tones ([[8/7]]) exceed 5 octaves) is tempered out by 26-fold multiple edos up to 1456 (such as [[26edo|26-]], [[130edo|130-]], [[286edo|286-]] or [[546edo|546edo]]).

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include [[varunismic temperaments #Bosonic|bosonic]]. Considered below is iron.
