Vals: q34, q269, q289

Skald

The name is a portmanteau of skeetsma and kalisma, with the Old Norse theme that's common in the naming of kalismic temperaments.

Vals: q34, q131, q138

Gersemi

Named after one of Thor's and Freya's daughters, as in 11-limit, it tempers out one comma of thor (9801/9800) and one of freya (41503/41472). There's also a word play on the semi- prefix that hints at the split of the octave in halves.

Other name ideas are possible. Rank-2 subtemperaments include hemiennealimmal, wizard, and octowerck.

Preferred equave: 18/7

Vals: q128, q98(i), q368(i)

Potentially extensible to 23-limit, still looking for the best warts there; q30 and q68 are supported too, but I'm more interested in 23-limit extensions, where 30 notes aren't enough; q226, q338, q466, q564 are supported alternative vals to try in 23-limit, may make a good extension.
