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. | 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.

The number of cots is indicated by a Greek numeral prefix. The full specification of cots is thus a Greek letter prefix (alpha-, beta-, etc.), followed by a Greek numeral prefix (mono-, di-, etc.), and -cot. | ||
Temperaments where the image of 3/2 is a whole number of ploids are called '''acot'''. | Temperaments where the image of 3/2 is a whole number of ploids are called '''acot'''. | ||
