 If [[3/2]] is represented by a linearly independent element to the ploid, there is a number of ploids which when added to 3/2 gives the interval which splits into the largest number of parts by the temperament. Each of these parts is called a '''cot''' or '''cotyledon''' and the ploidacot system uses one or more Greek letters to describe the smallest number of ploids should be added to 3/2 to form a whole number of cots, and this number of cots is indicated by a Greek numerical prefix.
-The Greek letter prefixes follow the ancient gematria/isopsephic system, so 6 is digamma, 7 is zeta, 8 is eta, etc.
+Temperaments where the image of 3/2 is a whole number of ploids are called '''acot'''.

+Prefixes for numbers between 21 and 99 are constructed the same way as number words in English, for instance 21 is kappa-alpha and 99 is sampi-theta.
