Antares is a nonoctave tritave-repeating temperament tempering out the comma 21875/19683, the amount by which 6 9/5 fall short of 7/5 or equivalently the amount by which 6 5/3 exceed 15/7. It is basically the Arcturus equivalent of mavila, and is even more inaccurate than mavila. It falls into exotemperament range with the "comma" it tempers out being a small major second. 9/5 is extremely sharp and becomes a neutral seventh, and 7/5 is mapped to a supermajor third!
