Amity was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2001–2002 as a restructuring of the phrase ''acute minor third''<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_2064.html Yahoo!

The [[sixix]] temperament is related, both temperaments being generated by a supraminor third such that 5 of them stack to [[4/3]] when octave-reduced. But while amity interprets the generator as [[243/200]], sixix interprets it as 6/5. Sixix is much simpler than amity but also much less accurate. | The [[sixix]] temperament is related, both temperaments being generated by a supraminor third such that 5 of them stack to [[4/3]] when octave-reduced.
