We may also invert the continuum by setting ''m'' such that 1/''m'' + 1/''n'' = 1. The just value of m is 1.2333…

The 5-limit 6b&7 temperament. Its name is "porcupine" spelled backwards, because that's what this temperament is – it is porcupine, with the generator sharp of 2\7 such that the major and minor thirds switch places. The fifths are very flat, meaning that this is more of a melodic temperament than a harmonic one.

The 5-limit 7&amp;84 temperament, so named because it truly is an absurd temperament. The generator is 81/80 and the period is 800/729, which is (10/9) / (81/80). This is also part of the syntonic-chromatic equivalence continuum, in this case where (81/80)<sup>5</sup> = 25/24.

This is a fairly obvious temperament; it just equates 7 10/9's with a 2/1, hence the period is 10/9. One generator from 5\7 puts you at 3/2, two generators from 2\7 puts you at 5/4.

This is similar to the above, but provides a less complex avenue to 5, but this time at the cost of accuracy. One generator from 5\7 puts you at 3/2, and one generator from 2\7 puts you at 5/4.
