A '''hemipent''' (or '''"hemipental"''') interval is an [[interval]] in the <math>\sqrt{2}\,.\sqrt{3}\,.\sqrt{5}</math> [[subgroup]] i.e. intervals that can be constructed by multiplying half-integer powers of 2, 3, and 5. Hemipental system is an [[expansion]] of [[Hemipyth|hemipythagorean]], by adding a generator representing <math>\sqrt{5}</math>.

Notable hemipent intervals include the semithird <math>\sqrt{\frac{5}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}</math>, semisixth <math>\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{3}}</math>, contrasemisixth (semi-minor-third) <math>\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{5}}</math>, and contrasemithird (semi-minor-sixth) <math>\sqrt{\frac{8}{5}} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}}</math>.

Notable hemipent intervals include the semithird <math>\sqrt{\frac{5}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}</math> (~193{{C}}), semisixth <math>\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{3}}</math> (~442{{C}}), contrasemisixth (semi-minor-third) <math>\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{5}}</math> (~158{{C}}), and contrasemithird (semi-minor-sixth) <math>\sqrt{\frac{8}{5}} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}}</math> (~407{{C}}).

Many temperaments naturally produce intervals that split ~{{sfrac|5|4}}, ~{{sfrac|5|3}}, ~{{sfrac|6|5}}, or ~{{sfrac|8|5}} exactly in half and can thus be interpreted as semithirds, semisixths, contrasemisixths, or contrasemithirds within the temperament.
