The temperament was at first discovered as [[7-limit]] only, where it tempers out the [[canousma]], 4802000/4782969 = {{monzo| 4 -14 3 4 }}. It passes as a [[microtemperament]] with the [[9-odd-limit]] [[Minimax tuning|minimax]] error of 0.98[[¢]] (1/7 canousma). Extending it to the 2.3.5.7.17.19 subgroup adds virtually no additional error as the number of minimax error is also characteristic of the [[tonality diamond]] of 1.3.5.7.9.15.17.19.21.

14- and 19-note scales are also highly concise for the temperament. See [[#scales]] for more information.
