Laka is the rank-3 temperament tempering out 540/539 and 5120/5103, with the canonical extension to the 13-limit tempering out 352/351, 640/637, 729/728 and 847/845. The lattice structure is very comparable to that of pele, but it is more complex as many of the simple divisive ratios are further away from the origin.

Gene Ward Smith considered laka to be a 17-limit temperament, assigning †442/441 (41g & 53 & 58) as the main extension. It should be noted that 41 & 53g & 58 also makes for a possible extension. It makes the most sense as a 2.3.5.7.11.13.19 subgroup temperament, omitting harmonic 17, as 19 is easily available in a 24-tone scale, shown in the lattice below.

See Hemifamity family #Laka for technical details.

Chords

Laka enables essentially tempered chords of swetismic in the 11-odd-limit, in addition to major minthmic, huntmic, squbemic and cuthbert in the 13-odd-limit.
