Alternatively, it is the amount by which [[27/25]] exceeds a stack of [[25/24]], [[49/48]], and [[65/64]], or the difference between two [[7/4]]'s and a stack of [[16/13]] above five [[6/5]]s. It is tempered out in [[hemikleismic]], [[vulture]], [[pontiac]], [[abigail]], [[ennealimmal]], and [[alphatrillium]] temperaments, as well as by [[46edo|46]], [[50edo|50]], [[53edo|53]], [[68edo|68]], [[103edo|103]], [[121edo|121]], [[171edo|171]], [[217edo|217]], [[224edo|224]], [[270edo|270]], [[441edo|441]], [[494edo|494]], [[643edo|643]], [[814edo|814]], [[935edo|935]], [[3125edo|3125]], [[3395edo|3395]], [[6079edo|6079]], [[8539edo|8539]], [[11664edo|11664]], and [[16808edo]].
