If the fifth harmonic is used at all, it makes sense to map it to 8 generators by tempering out 81/80, making it [[Meantone family#Mohajira|a meantone system]], sometimes called [[Chromatic pairs#Mohaha|"mohaha"]]. If 7 is also mapped a particular way it is called [[mohajira]]. Alternatively, 64/63 could be tempered out, leading to a 2.3.7.11 version of [[Archytas clan#Beatles|beatles]].
