== Quintosec ==

Quintosec has a 1/5-octave period and a generator of around 831 [[cent]]s such that two of them plus a period make the [[3/1|3rd harmonic]]. However, an equivalent generator is the neutral third, in addition to the minimal generator, [[~]][[16/15]]. The [[ploidacot]] of this temperament is pentaploid dicot.
Quintosec is naturally a [[2.3.5.11 subgroup|2.3.5.11-subgroup]] temperament. It was documented as ''qintosec'' on the [https://x31eq.com/temper/ Temperament Finder], which was probably due to a typo<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_104268.html Yahoo Tuning Group | ''2D temperament names, part I -- reclassified temperaments from message #101780'']</ref>. The original, intended spelling is restored here, and the distinctive no-''u'' form is relegated to the lower-accuracy 7-limit extension considered below.

Sengasec can be described as the 10 & 55 temperament, tempering out the [[cloudy comma]], 16807/16384 and the sengic comma, 686/675 in the 7-limit.
Sengasec can be described as the 10 & 65 temperament, tempering out the [[cloudy comma]], 16807/16384 and the sengic comma, 686/675 in the 7-limit. It was named by [[Xenllium]] in 2021.

Decoid tempers out 2401/2400, the [[breedsma]], and 67108864/66976875, the [[decovulture comma]], as well as {{monzo| 11 -10 -10 10 }}, the [[linus comma]]. Either ~[[8/7]] or ~[[16/15]] can be used as its generator. It may be described as the 130 & 270 temperament, and as one might expect, 181\940 or 233\1210 makes for an excellent tuning choice.

It may be described as the 130 & 270 temperament, and its [[ploidacot]] is decaploid dicot. The hemitwelfth or neutral third can be used as a generator, but also ~[[8/7]], ~[[16/15]], or the [[marvel comma]]. 181\940 or 233\1210 makes for an excellent tuning choice.
