In the [[11-limit]], [[1331/1323]] is the most convenient comma that can be tempered out, which produces ''Mintra'' temperament; this splits the 9/7 generator (plus a tritave) in three and therefore functions instead as a weak extension of BPS, and a strong add-5 extension of [[Mintaka]], which produces [[5L 2s (3/1-equivalent)|5L 2s]] and [[5L 7s (3/1-equivalent)|5L 7s]] MOS scales (functioning as a macro-[[superpyth]]). Simple tunings include [[17edt]] and [[39edt]]. | In the [[11-limit]], [[1331/1323]] is the most convenient comma that can be tempered out, which produces ''Mintra'' temperament; this splits the 9/7 generator (plus a tritave) in three and therefore functions instead as a weak extension of BPS, and a strong add-5 extension of [[Mintaka]], which produces [[5L 2s (3/1-equivalent)|5L 2s]] and [[5L 7s (3/1-equivalent)|5L 7s]] MOS scales (functioning as a macro-[[superpyth]]).

Another weak extension to add prime 17, known as ''Dubhe'', splits the 9/7 BPS generator in half, by tempering out [[2025/2023]] and equating two of [[17/15]] to 9/7. This produces [[8L 1s (3/1-equivalent)|8L 1s]] enneatonic and [[9L 8s (3/1-equivalent)|9L 8s]] chromatic MOS scales. Simple tunings include [[17edt]] and [[26edt]]. | Another weak extension to add prime 17, known as ''[[Dubhe]]'', splits the 9/7 BPS generator in half, by tempering out [[2025/2023]] and equating two of [[17/15]] to 9/7.
