'''Amity''' is the microtemperament tempering out the [[amity comma]], 1600000/1594323, in the 5-limit. This article also assumes the canonical mapping for 7, which means tempering out [[4375/4374]] and [[5120/5103]] in the 7-limit. Equal temperaments that support amity include [[46edo|46]], [[53edo|53]], [[99edo|99]], [[152edo|152]], and [[205edo|205]].

Extending amity from the 7-limit to the 11-limit is not so simple. There are three mappings that are comparable in complexity and error: undecimal amity (53 & 152), catamite (46 & 145), and hitchcock (46 & 53). Undecimal amity tempers out 540/539 and has the harmonic 11 mapped to -62 generator steps. Catamite tempers out 441/440 and has the harmonic 11 mapped to +37 generators steps. Hitchcock tempers out 121/120 and has the harmonic 11 mapped to -9 steps. They can be extended to the 13-limit through [[352/351]], and results in [[625/624]] and [[729/728]] being tempered out in 13-limit amity, [[196/195]] and [[364/363]] being tempered out in catamite, and [[169/168]] and [[325/324]] being tempered out in hitchcock. In the 17-limit, hitchcock tempers out 154/153, 256/255, and 273/272.
