'''Tempering out''' is what a [[regular temperament]] (including rank-1 temperaments aka [[equal temperament]]s) does to a small interval like a [[comma]]: it makes it disappear, or as some authors put it, ''vanish''.<ref>''Vanish'' is notably used throughout ''[[A Middle Path]]''.</ref>
'''Tempering out''' is what a [[regular temperament]] (including rank-1 temperaments a.k.a. [[equal temperament]]s) does to a small interval like a [[comma]]: it makes it disappear, or as some authors put it, ''vanish''.<ref group="note">''Vanish'' is notably used throughout ''[[A Middle Path]]''. However, ''vanish'' is broader than ''temper out'', as any abstract interval can ''vanish''. For example, you could say "in [[5edo]], the small step of the [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]] vanishes" without specifying a just interval at all. In this sense, ''being tempered out'' is a specific way of ''vanishing''. </ref>
