The 2960dh [[val]] {{val| 2960 4691 6873 '''8309''' 10240 10953 12099 '''12573''' }} is the unique mapping that supports both the 80th-octave temperament called [[mercury]], and the coincidentally similarly named [[mercurial comma]], which is the difference between a stack of 5 [[19/17]] and 2 [[15/14]] with the octave. These can be arranged in [[diatonic]] pattern to sound like a [[meantone]] scale. In this case, 19/17 is mapped to 474 steps and 15/14 is mapped to 295 steps.

From a regular temperament perspective, this in 2960edo can be potentially realized as [[893edo|893]] & 2960dh temperament in the 19-limit, as it maps two generators to 19/17 and 2955 generators to 15/14, which is circularly equivalent to 5 steps down in 2960edo (2955 + 5 = 2960), corresponding to Phrygian and Locrian modes. Eliora proposes the name ''quicksilvertone'' for this regular temperament.
