===[[Compton family|Pythagorean or Lalawa family]] (P8/12, ^1)===
The Pythagorean family tempers out the [[Pythagorean comma]], 531441/524288 = {{Monzo|-19 12 0}}, which implies [[12edo|12EDO]]. This family includes the compton and catler temperaments. Temperaments in this family tend to have a period of 1/12th octave The 5-limit compton temperament can be thought of as multiple rings of 12-edo, offset from one another by a justly tuned 5/4, or alternatively by a tempered 81/80. Several 12-edo instruments slightly detuned from each other provide an easy way to make music with these temperaments.

This tempers out the trisedodge comma, 30958682112/30517578125 = {{Monzo|19 10 -15}};. The period is ~144/125 = 240¢. The generator is ~6/5. Six periods minus three generators equals ~4/3. 5/4 is equated to 2 generators minus 1 period. An obvious 7-limit interpretation of the period is 8/7.

This tempers out Ampersand's comma = 34171875/33554432 = {{Monzo|-25 7 6}}. The generator is ~16/15, of which six make ~3/2. 5/4 is equated to 1 octave minus 7 generators. If the generator is also equated to ~15/14, and three generators to ~11/9, one gets the [[Miracle]] temperament.

===[[Mutt temperament|Mutt or Trila-septriyo family]] (P8/3, ccP4/7)===
This tempers out the [[mutt_comma|mutt comma]], {{Monzo|-44 -3 21}, leading to some strange properties. Seven ~5/4 generators equals a double-compound 4th = ~16/3. The third-octave period is <u>not</u> 5/4, thus the generator is equivalently a period minus ~5/4, only about 14¢. The L/s ratio is very lopsided, and scales resemble a "fuzzy" augmented chord.

=== Lasepzo clan (P8, P11/7) ===
This clan tempers out the Lasepzo comma [-18 -1 0 7> = 823543/786432. Its generator is ~8/7. Six generators equals ~7/3, and seven generators equals ~8/3. Three generators is ~30¢ sharp of 3/2, and five generators is ~15¢ sharp of 2/1, making this a [[cluster temperament]]. See also Sawa and Latrizo.

Lanscape rank-two temperaments temper out the lanscape comma, {{Monzo|-4 6 -6 3}} = 250047/250000.
Lanscape rank-two temperaments temper out the lanscape comma, {{Monzo|-4 6 -6 3}} = 250047/250000. These have a period of 1/3 octave, but ~5/4 is not equated with a period, resulting in small intervals.

===[[Akjaysmic temperaments|Akjaysmic or Trisaseprugu temperaments]]===
Akjaysmic rank-two temperaments temper out the akjaysma, {{Monzo|47 -7 -7 -7}}. These have a period of 1/7 octave, and five periods equals ~105/64. Unlike the Whitewood or Lawa family, ~3/2 is not equated with four-sevenths of an octave, resulting in small intervals.

Archytas temperament tempers out 64/63. This comma equates every 7-limit interval to some 3-limit interval. If 81/80 were tempered out too, the otonal tetrad 4:5:6:7 would be identified with the dominant seventh chord.
