'''Hyperpent''' or hyperpental edo is an equal division of the octave which has a just fifth that is less than a syntonic comma sharp.  It is juxtaposed by hypopent or hypopental edo tuning systems.
'''Hyperpent''' or hyperpental edo is an [[equal division of the octave]] which has a [[3/2|just fifth]] that is less than a [[81/80|syntonic comma]] sharp.  It is juxtaposed by hypopent or hypopental edo tuning systems.

"Hyper-" is the Greek prefix for high or above and "pent" is Greek for five.  The term is loosely associated with "superpythagorean," but specifically refers to equal division of the octave that result in any fifth tempered sharp.

Large edo's are generally both hyperpent and hypopent, because they contain multiple representations of the fifth that may be sharp and flat.  Some edo's may contain no intervals in the span of a just fifth plus or minus a syntonic comma, and thus are neither hyperpent nor hypopent.

Some exceptions are 37edo and 44edo, which are amphipent, even though 37 cannot be written as multiple sums of 5's and 7's, nor can 44.
