: This tempers out the shibboleth comma, {{Monzo|-5 -10 9}} = 1953125/1889568. Nine generators of ~6/5 equal a double compound 4th of ~16/3.  5/4 is equated to 3 octaves minus 10 generators.

: The sycamore family tempers out the mabila comma, {{Monzo|28 -3 -10}} = 268435456/263671875. The generator is ~512/375 = ~530¢, three generators equals ~5/2 and ten of them equals a quadruple-compound 4th of ~64/3. An obvious 11-limit interpretation of the generator is ~15/11.

: The sycamore family tempers out the sycamore comma, {{Monzo|-16 -6 11}} = 48828125/47775744, which is the amount by which five stacked chromatic semitones, 25/24, exceed 6/5, and hence also the amount six exceeds 5/4. Eleven of these generators equals ~3/2.

: The gammic family tempers out the gammic comma, {{Monzo|-29 -11 20}}. Nine generators of about 35¢ equals ~6/5, eleven equal ~5/4 and twenty equal ~3/2. 34EDO is an obvious tuning. The head of the family is 5-limit gammic, whose generator chain is [[Carlos Gamma]]. Another member is Neptune temperament.
