An '''epimorphic temperament''' of an epimorphic scale ''S'' on a JI group ''A'' is a temperament supported by its epimorphic val on ''A''. Some [[exotemperament]]s (including vals for small edos) can be used as epimorphic temperaments for small epimorphic scales: | An '''epimorphic temperament''' of an epimorphic scale ''S'' on a JI group ''A'' is a temperament supported by its epimorphic val on ''A''.
