'''Hexacot''' is a temperament archetype where the generator is a semitone of about 116–118¢, six of which make a perfect fifth of [[3/2]], and the period is a [[2/1]] octave. Hexacot temperaments also include all [[Ploidacot/Dicot|dicot]] and [[Ploidacot/Tricot|tricot]] intervals, as the dicot generator is split further into three, or the tricot generator is split further into two. Hexacot temperaments typically generate the [[1L 9s]] and [[10L 1s]] MOS scales | '''Hexacot''' is a temperament archetype where the generator is a semitone of about 116–118¢, six of which make a perfect fifth of [[3/2]], and the period is a [[2/1]] octave.

A notable feature of hexacot is the small diesis, known as the [[quark]], encountered after 10 steps, which represents one-third of a diatonic semitone. This makes hexacot scales cluster around [[10edo]]. | |||
