: This tempers out the vishnuzma, {{Monzo|23 6 -14}}, or the amount by which seven chromatic semitones (25/24) fall short of a perfect fourth (4/3), or (4/3)/(25/24)^7. The period is ~{{Monzo|-11 -3 7}} and the generator is ~25/24. 5/4 is equated to 1 period minus 3 generators. | : This tempers out the vishnuzma, {{Monzo|23 6 -14}}, or the amount by which seven chromatic semitones (25/24) fall short of a perfect fourth (4/3), or (4/3)/(25/24)^7.

: This tempers out the [[escapade comma]], {{Monzo|32 -7 -9}}, which is the difference between nine just major thirds and seven just fourths. The generator is ~{{Monzo|-14 3 4}} = ~55¢ | : This tempers out the [[escapade comma]], {{Monzo|32 -7 -9}}, which is the difference between nine just major thirds and seven just fourths. The generator is ~{{Monzo|-14 3 4}} = ~55¢ and nine of them equal ~4/3. Seven of them equal ~5/4, thus two of them equal ~16/15. An obvious 11-limit interpretation of the generator is 33/32, leading to the Trisa-tritrilu temperament. | ||
