: Small addendum: To give examples of "diatonic" (as a rank-3 2.3.5.17 subgroup temperament) being problematic, I want to draw attention to the emergent naming of lower-rank temperaments based on combinations of higher-rank temperaments that they combine; in such a discussion it may be confusing whether it is meant merely that the user finds the temperaments to have a "diatonic quality" or whether they support "diatonic"· An example is [[80edo]] may be described as "[[parapyth]] [[octopus]]"/"[[octopus]] [[parapyth]]" (whichever flows better, although it might be nice to have some way of standardising the order). --[[User:Godtone|Godtone]] ([[User talk:Godtone|talk]]) 22:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

== Rename to "fiventeenisma"? ==

This comma generates an essentially-tempered [[pentic]] of 30:34:40:45:51:60 through [[17/15]] = [[9/8]] and through the minor third being mapped to [[20/17]] (and thus the major third to [[51/40]]). It is well-tuned in [[17edo]]. This establishes its clear relation to numbers five and seventeen specifically, hence five+seventeen=fiventeen. (If the pentad implying a relation to five isn't convincing enough, keep in mind it's a [[supersoft]] tuning of [[pentic]] so it's closer to 5 equally spaced notes than usual. (Notice that of the teems, only seventeen has a v and of the naturals < 10 only five and seven have a v. The very subtle/indirect allusion to 7 is possibly a reference to [[diatonic]].) --[[User:Godtone|Godtone]] ([[User talk:Godtone|talk]]) 22:04, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
