Pajara (pronounced with the J as in "jar") is a temperament with a half-octave period that represents both 7/5 and 10/7, so 50/49 is tempered out and it is in the [[jubilismic clan]]. The generator is in the neighborhood of 105-110 cents, so that period + generator represents 3/2. Period minus 2 generators is 5/4, which, if you work it out, implies that 2048/2025 is tempered out, so pajara is also in the [[diaschismic family]]. Finally, two 4/3s (or a 2/1 minus two generators) represents 7/4 as well as 16/9, so 64/63 is tempered out and pajara is in the [[Archytas clan]]. Tempering out any two of these commas (among others) produces the unique temperament, pajara. | Pajara (pronounced /p<span class="IPA">əˈd͡ʒɑːr</span>ə/, with the J as in "jar") is a temperament with a half-octave period that represents both 7/5 and 10/7, so 50/49 is tempered out and it is in the [[jubilismic clan]].

The 10-note MOS and LsssLsssss almost-MOS are called the symmetric and pentachordal decatonic scales and were independently invented/discovered by [[Paul Erlich]] and [[Gene Ward Smith]]. They are often thought of as subsets of [[22edo]], without much loss of generality and accuracy. | The 10-note MOS and LsssLsssss almost-MOS are called the symmetric and pentachordal decatonic scales and were independently invented/discovered by [[Paul Erlich]] and [[Gene Ward Smith]].
