Lemba as a regular temperament is the intersection of the Jubilismic clan and the Gamelismic clan. This means that the perfect fifth is split into three equal parts, each approximately an 8/7. It also means the period is half an octave, and repeats precisely a tritone apart, tempering out 50/49. A generator plus a period comes very close to the golden ratio phi, which means ratios in the sequence 8:13:21:34:55 etc are also well approximated, and any one of these can be made just by choosing the right eigenmonzo. The combination of these factors means many composite ratios in the 2.3.5.7.13.17 subgroup are both well approximated and accessible with a relatively small gamut, giving you a strong selection of chords to choose from. It forms mode of symmetry scales that are always double a fibonacci sequence number, at 4, 6, 10, 16, 26, etc, which means L/s ratios remain evenly mixed and clearly distinct many iterations down.
