The most notable 5th-octave family is [[limmic temperaments]] – [[tempering out]] [[256/243]] and associates 3\5 to [[3/2]] as well as 1\5 to [[9/8]], producing temperaments like [[blackwood]]. Equally notable among small equal divisions are the [[Cloudy clan|cloudy temperaments]] – identifying [[8/7]] with one step of 5edo.

Considered below is a temperament called quint, which uses exactly the same 5-limit as 5et, but the harmonic 7 is mapped to an independent generator. In what way is this useful is unexplained.

''Quint'' preserves the 5-limit mapping of 5edo, and the harmonic 7 is mapped to an independent generator. In what way is this useful is unexplained.
