For instance, in the 2.5.7 subgroup, [[didacus]] can be labeled as "diseph", because its generator divides 5/4 in two, and [[llywelyn]] can be labeled as "alpha-heptaseph" because seven generators make up [[5/2]]. In the tritave world, [[BPS]] (3.5.7) is "monogem" as its generator is 9/7, while [[mintaka]] (3.7.11) is alpha-trigem as its generator (of ~[[21/11]]) splits [[7/1]] in three. | For instance, in the 2.5.7 subgroup, [[didacus]] can be labeled as "diseph", because its generator divides 5/4 in two, and [[llywelyn]] can be labeled as "alpha-heptaseph" because seven generators make up [[5/2]].

Even if 3 is included, the ploidaseph framework may occasionally be more useful than the ploidacot framework, in cases where the mapping of 3 is very complex and the structure of the temperament therefore deprioritizes prime 3. [[Hemiwürschmidt]], a [[strong extension]] of the aforementioned didacus, has a ploidacot of beta-hexadecacot as it divides 6/1 into sixteen generators; while [[trismegistus]] has a ploidacot of epsilon-pentadecacot as it maps [[96/1]] to fifteen generators. Each of these has a more intuitizable expression in terms of 2.5 intervals, which are much simpler in the respective temperaments: hemiwürschmidt is diseph and trismegistus is alpha-triseph (one-third 5/2). | Even if 3 is included in a given temperament, the ploidaseph framework may occasionally be more useful than the ploidacot framework, in cases where the mapping of 3 is very complex and the structure of the temperament therefore deprioritizes prime 3.
