I like "wonder" because 5&36 has remarkably low badness in its subgroup, just like how "[[magic]]" and "[[miracle]]" do in theirs. It's a nice descriptive name. So much better than "slendric". | I like "wonder" because 5&36 has remarkably low badness in its subgroup, just like how "[[magic]]" and "[[miracle]]" do in theirs. It's a nice descriptive name.

Another name for slendric temperament is "gamelic temperament". This name is equally bad for all of the same reasons. The name "gamelic" implies this temperament is identical to the ones used by [[gamelan]] orchestras. But it is not remotely the same, so this name is stealing a term from another culture to try to lend itself legitimacy at that culture's expense. | Another name for slendric temperament is "gamelic temperament".
