It also tempers out [[2048/2025]] in the 5-limit, and [[50/49]] with [[64/63]] in the [[7-limit]], which means it [[support]]s [[pajara]], with a very sharp fifth of 712.5 cents which could be experimented with by those with a penchant for fifths even sharper than the fifth of [[27edo]]; this fifth is in fact very close to the [[minimax tuning]] of the pajara extension [[Diaschismic family#Pajaro|pajaro]], using the 32f val. In the 11-limit it provides the [[optimal patent val]] for the {{nowrap|15 & 32}} temperament, tempering out [[55/54]], 64/63, and [[245/242]].

The sharp fifth of 32edo can be used to generate a very unequal [[archy]] (specifically [[subgroup temperaments #Oceanfront|Oceanfront]]) [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]], with a [[diatonic semitone]] of 5 steps and a [[chromatic semitone]] of only 1. The "major third" (which can sound like both a major third and a flat fourth depending on context) is an interseptimal interval of 450¢, approximating [[9/7]] and [[13/10]], and the minor third is 262.5¢, approximating [[7/6]]. Because of the unequalness of the scale, the minor second is reduced to a fifth-tone, but it still strongly resembles "normal" diatonic music, especially for darker [[mode]]s. In addition to the sharp fifth, there is an alternative [[mavila|mavila-like]] flat fifth of 675¢ (inherited from [[16edo]]), but it is much more inaccurate and discordant than the sharp fifth.
