As a temperament in the 3.5 [[subgroup]], it tempers out [[27/25]], equating 5/3 with 9/5. | As a temperament in the 3.5 [[subgroup]], it tempers out [[27/25]], equating 5/3 with 9/5. | ||
Since [[26/15]] is a convergent of sqrt(3), 26/15 (and its [[tritave complement]] 45/26) are good rational representations of the square root of 3. 2edt thus tempers out (26/15)<sup>2</sup> / (3/1) = [[676/675]], the island comma. | Since [[26/15]] is a [[convergent]] of sqrt(3), 26/15 (and its [[tritave complement]] 45/26) are good rational representations of the square root of 3. 2edt thus tempers out (26/15)<sup>2</sup> / (3/1) = [[676/675]], the island comma. | ||
