In terms of the kernel, which is to say the commas it tempers out, it tempers out the Pythagorean comma, 3^12/2^19, the Didymus comma, [[81/80]], the diesis, [[128/125]], the diaschisma, [[2048/2025]], the Archytas comma, [[64/63]], the septimal quartertone, [[36/35]], the jubilisma, [[50/49]], the septimal semicomma, [[126/125]], and the septimal kleisma, [[225/224]]. Each of these affects the structure of 12et in specific ways, and tuning systems which share the comma in question will be similar to 12et in precisely those ways.
