Enndedecal temperament tempers out the enneadeca, |-14 -19 19>, and as a consequence has a period of 1/19 octave. This is because the enneadeca is the amount by which nineteen just minor thirds fall short of an octave. If to this we add 4375/4374 we get the 7-limit temperament we are considering here, but note should be taken of the fact that it makes for a reasonable 5-limit microtemperament also, where the generator can be 25/24, 27/25, 10/9, 5/4 or 3/2. To this we may add possible 7-limit generators such as 225/224, 15/14 or 9/7. Since enneadecal tempers out 703125/702464, the amount by which 81/80 falls short of three stacked 225/224, we can equate the 225/224 generator with (81/80)^(1/3). This is the interval needed to adjust the 1/3 comma meantone flat fifths and major thirds of [[19edo|19edo]] up to just ones. [[171edo|171edo]] is a good tuning for either the 5 or 7 limits, and [[494edo|494edo]] shows how to extend the temperament to the 11 or 13 limit, where it is accurate but very complex. Fans of near-perfect fifths may want to use [[665edo|665edo]] for a tuning.

The generator for amity temperament is the acute minor third, which means an ordinary 6/5 minor third raised by an 81/80 comma to 243/200, and from this it derives its name. Aside from the ragisma it tempers out the 5-limit amity comma, 1600000/1594323, 5120/5103 and 6144/6125. It can also be described as the 46&53 temperament, or by its wedgie, <<5 13 -17 9 -41 -76||. [[99edo|99edo]] is a good tuning for amity, with generator 28/99, and MOS of 11, 18, 25, 32, 46 or 53 notes are available. If you are looking for a different kind of neutral third this could be the temperament for you.

In the 5-limit, parakleismic is an undoubted microtemperament, tempering out the parakleisma, |8 14 -13>, with the [[118edo|118edo]] tuning giving errors well under a cent. It has a generator a very slightly (half a cent or less) flat 6/5, 13 of which give 32/3, and 14 64/5. However while 118 no longer has better than a cent of accuracy in the 7 or 11 limits, it is a decent temperament there nonetheless, and this allows an extension, with the 7-limit wedgie being <<13 14 35 -8 19 42|| and adding 3136/3125 and 4375/4374, and the 11-limit wedgie <<13 14 35 -36 ...|| adding 385/384. For the 7-limit [[99edo|99edo]] may be preferred, but in the 11-limit it is best to stick with 118.
