'''Semaphore''', of the [[Slendro clan]], is characterized by the vanishing of [[49/48]], so the generator represents [[8/7]] and [[7/6]] equally. This results in a very low [[complexity]] 2.3.7 [[temperament]], with the drawback that most intervals of 7 must be out of tune by at least half of the comma 49/48, or about 18 [[cent]]s. Semaphore is a play on the words "semi-" and "fourth."

If 5 is mapped at all, it can be sensibly mapped to -8 [[generator]]s by [[tempering out]] [[81/80]], making it a [[Meantone family #Godzilla|meantone temperament]]. This temperament is called '''godzilla'''.

This temperament is called '''godzilla'''. A more accurate but complex mapping of 5 can be found in [[immunity]], or you can make 5/4 itself the period by tempering out [[128/125]], resulting in [[triforce]].
