This temperament was accidentally named when [[User:VectorGraphics|Vector]] described [[fendo]] as tempering out 40/39 in the 2.3.5.13 subgroup. The mistake has since been corrected. Its generators are a sharp perfect fifth and a flat major third. It can be described as {{nowrap| 7 & 15 & 10 }}. It equates 39/32 with 5/4 and equates 13/8 with 5/3, so it does not assosciate major with greater neutral and minor with lesser neutral as one would expect (see [[65/64]]), but the other way around.
