My suggestion:

# comma name: palingenesis/symbiosis or palingenetic/symbiotic comma.

# temperament/chord name: ~~palingnetic~~/symbiotic temperament/chords.

# temperament/chord name: palingenetic/symbiotic temperament/chords.

: Ah. Part of the problem was that I was looking at the wrong adjective for "palingenesis". As to the comma names, I think that both of your suggested options are viable and should both be valid. I'll fix the names accordingly.

:: Let's not shy away from analysing the names, since I reckon it not preferable for a comma to have lots of aliases. At least it's good to have a single-word canonical form so as to ease categorization on this wiki. The "-tic comma" and "-tic chords" pair seems most convincing. It's how most other comma names that don't end in -ma are used in this context. The "-sis" (without "comma") is reminiscent of "diesis", so syntactically those are viable as well, but semantically questionable (they're plain English words that already have meanings). The "-sis comma" version makes more semantic sense but less syntactic sense, cuz "diesis" clearly doesn't take "comma". The "-ma" version, I'm not quite convinced of. If you check other such commas, most of them are either (1) Greek words originally ending in -ma e.g. limma, schisma, (2) Germanic or Arabic words e.g. grossma, rastma, and (3) proper nouns e.g. orwellisma. That's my analysis. Anyway I'm moving palingenic chords > palingenetic chords, and symbiosma > symbiotic comma.

:: There're 21-odd-limit essentially tempered chords of 1701/1700. I'm adding those. I'm not sure if going for 27-odd-limit is a good idea. Tons of articles on chords could potentially be rewritten as a consequence. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 15:49, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
