7th octave temperament occurs through temperament merging any two edos whose greatest common divisor is 7. A comma that frequently appears in 7th-octave temps is akjaysma, which sets 105/64 to be equal to 5\7.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include:

Nitrogen

Described as 140 & 1407 temperament in the 7-limit, named after the 7th element for being period-7 and also because 140 and 1407 only contain numbers 7 and 14, atomic number and atomic weight of nitrogen respectively. On top of this connection to the number 7, it also reaches 7th harmonic 7 generators down.
