:::: What about 41edo and 46edo? Those are both notable tunings that temper out the comma and have fifths that fall outside of your *argent* range. -- [[User:Tristanbay|Tristanbay]] ([[User talk:Tristanbay|talk]]) 00:35, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

::::: On my part I include 41edo within the argent range; and there's a case to be made that 46edo and 53edo, while notable, aren't truly representative of the intonation of tempering out 5120/5103. "Argent" strictly speaking refers not to a particular tuning range, anyhow, but to a specific tuning that sets the logarithmic ratio of the perfect fifth to the perfect fourth to be sqrt(2):1, for which one can define bands of tolerance around, but which very closely corresponds to the most accurate tunings that temper out this comma. Perhaps "argentisma" -> argentic, argentismic would be clearer, so as not to imply an RTT interpretation for the term "argent temperament" which is already in use. -- [[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]] ([[User talk:Lériendil|talk]]) 01:24, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

::::: Compare this to the intonation of counterpyth, which quite distinctly favors tunings of 3/2 far flatter than the optimum of tempering out 5120/5103 by itself: just 19/15 gives us roughly 1/16-comma hemifamity as opposed to just 15/14, 7/5, or 21/20 which provide 1/5, 1/6, and 1/7-comma tunings. For this reason, I oppose seeing counterpyth as a canonical extension to the 7-limit rank-3 {5120/5103} temperament -- [[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]] ([[User talk:Lériendil|talk]]) 01:24, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

:::: I prefer "Saruyo". It's the only name out of all these suggestions that directly indicates 5120/5103. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 09:19, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
