Since (6/5)<sup>3</sup> = 126/125 × 12/7, these temperaments tend to have a relatively small complexity for 6/5. They also possess the [[starling tetrad]], the 6/5-6/5-6/5-7/6 versions of the diminished seventh chord. Since this is a chord of meantone temperament in wide use in Western common practice harmony long before [[12edo|12EDO]] established itself as the standard tuning, it is arguably more authentic to tune it as three stacked minor thirds and an augmented second, which is what it is in meantone, than as the modern version of four stacked very flat minor thirds. | Since (6/5)<sup>3</sup> = 126/125 × 12/7, these temperaments tend to have a relatively small complexity for 6/5.

{{ | {{Main| Myna }} | ||
In addition to 126/125, myna tempers out [[1728/1715]], the orwell comma, and [[2401/2400]], the breedsma. It can also be described as the 27&31 temperament. It has 6/5 as a generator, and [[58edo|58EDO]] can be used as a tuning, with [[89edo|89EDO]] being a better one, and fans of round amounts in cents may like [[120edo|120EDO]]. It is also possible to tune myna with pure fifths by taking 6<sup>1/10</sup> as the generator. Myna extends naturally but with much increased complexity to the 11 and 13 limits. | In addition to 126/125, myna tempers out [[1728/1715]], the orwell comma, and [[2401/2400]], the breedsma.

Valentine tempers out 1029/1024 and 6144/6125 as well as 126/125, so it also fits under the heading of the gamelismic clan. It has a generator of 21/20, which can be stripped of its 2 and taken as 3×7/5. In this respect it resembles miracle, with a generator of 3×5/7, and casablanca, with a generator of 5×7/3. These three generators are the simplest in terms of the relationship of tetrads in the [[The Seven Limit Symmetrical Lattices|lattice of 7-limit tetrads]]. Valentine can also be described as the 31&46 temperament, and [[77edo|77EDO]], [[108edo|108EDO]] or [[185edo|185EDO]] make for excellent tunings, which also happen to be excellent tunings for starling temperament, the 126/125 planar temperament. Hence 7-limit valentine can be used whenever starling is wanted, with the extra tempering out of 1029/1024 having no discernible effect on tuning accuracy. Another tuning for valentine uses (3/2)<sup>1/9</sup> as a generator, giving pure 3/2 fifths. Valentine extends naturally to the 11-limit as {{multival| 9 5 -3 7 … }}, tempering out 121/120 and 441/440; 46EDO has a valentine generator 3\46 which is only 0.0117 cents sharp of the minimax generator, (11/7)<sup>1/10</sup>. | Valentine tempers out 1029/1024 and 6144/6125 as well as 126/125, so it also fits under the heading of the gamelismic clan.
