'''Tetracot''', in this article, is the [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] in the 2.3.5.11.13 [[subgroup]] [[generator|generated]] by a submajor second of about 174–178{{cent}} which represents both [[10/9]] and [[11/10]]. It is so named because the generator is a quarter of fifth: four such generators make a perfect fifth which approximates [[3/2]], which cannot occur in [[12edo]], resulting in [[100/99]], [[144/143]], and [[243/242]] being [[tempering out|tempered out]]. This is in contrast to [[meantone]], where 10/9 is tuned sharper than or equal to just in order to be equated with [[9/8]]. | '''Tetracot''', in this article, is the [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] in the 2.3.5.11.13 [[subgroup]] [[generator|generated]] by a submajor second of about 174–178{{cent}} which represents both [[10/9]] and [[11/10]].
