Extending amity from the 7-limit to the 11-limit is not so simple. There are three mappings that are comparable in complexity and error: undecimal amity ({{nowrap| 53 & 152 }}), catamite ({{nowrap| 46 & 145 }}), and hitchcock ({{nowrap| 46 & 53 }}). Undecimal amity tempers out 540/539 and has the harmonic 11 mapped to −62 generator steps. Catamite tempers out 441/440 and has the harmonic 11 mapped to +37 generators steps. Hitchcock tempers out 121/120 and has the harmonic 11 mapped to −9 steps. They can be extended to the 13-limit through [[352/351]], and results in [[625/624]] and [[729/728]] being tempered out in 13-limit amity, [[196/195]] and [[364/363]] being tempered out in catamite, and [[169/168]] and [[325/324]] being tempered out in hitchcock. Hitchcock has an extra extension to the 17-limit where it tempers out [[154/153]], [[256/255]], and [[273/272]].
