-The 5-limit parent comma for the '''augmented family''' is [[128/125]], the diesis. The [[period]] is 1/3 octave, and this is what is used for 5/4, the classical major third. The [[generator]] can be taken as a fifth or a semitone, and [[12edo]], with its excellent fifth, is an obvious tuning for [[5-limit]] augmented, though a sharper fifth might be preferred to go with the sharp third.
+The '''augmented family''' of [[regular temperament|temperaments]] [[tempering out|tempers out]] the diesis a.k.a. augmented comma, [[128/125]], the amount by which three [[5/4]] major thirds fall short of an [[2/1|octave]], and so identifies the major third with the 1/3-octave. Hence it has the same 400-cent 5/4-approximations as [[12edo]].
