The '''smate family''' of temperaments tempers out [[2048/1875]], the smate comma, resulting in equation of four [[5/4|just major thirds (5/4)]] with the [[8/3|just perfect eleventh (8/3)]]. It therefore requires an extremely sharp tuning of the just major third. [[17edo]] and [[20edo]] provide it and make for good tunings. | The '''smate family''' of temperaments tempers out [[2048/1875]], the smate comma, resulting in equation of four [[5/4|just major thirds (5/4)]] with the [[8/3|just perfect eleventh (8/3)]].

These temperaments resemble [[skwares]], which also splits 8/3 into four major thirds, but those major thirds are flattish [[9/7]]s rather than the sharp 5/4s used here. | |||
