'''Tetracot''', in this article, is the rank-2 [[regular temperament]] for the 2.3.5.11.13 [[subgroup]] defined by [[tempering out]] [[100/99]], [[144/143]], and [[243/242]].
'''Tetracot''', in this article, is the rank-2 [[regular temperament]] for the 2.3.5.11.13 [[subgroup]] defined by [[tempering out]] [[100/99]], [[144/143]], and [[243/242]].


It can be seen as implying a rank-2 tuning which is [[generator|generated]] by a sub-major second of about 176{{c}} which represents both [[10/9]] and [[11/10]]. It is so named because the generator is a quarter of fifth: four generators make a fifth which approximates [[3/2]], which cannot occur in [[12edo]]. Equal temperaments that support tetracot include {{EDOs| 27, 34, and 41 }}.
