'''Superpyth''', sometimes called '''archy''' in the [[2.3.7 subgroup]], is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] where the [[generator]] is a [[3/2|perfect fifth]], tuned sharp such that a stack of two perfect fifths [[octave reduction|octave-reduced]] gives a whole tone that represents both [[9/8]] and [[8/7]], [[tempering out]] the septimal comma, [[64/63]]. Likewise, two perfect fourths give a minor seventh that represents both [[7/4]] and [[16/9]], so that intervals such as A–G and C–B♭ (notated in chain-of-fifths notation) are harmonic sevenths. Equivalently, three fourths reach a minor third that approximates [[7/6]], while four fifths reach a major third that approximates [[9/7]].
