If intervals of 11 are desired, the canonical way is to map [[11/8]] to +16 generators, or a doubly augmented second (C–D𝄪), tempering out [[100/99]]. A simpler but less accurate way to map it is to −6 generators, or a diminished fifth (C–G♭), by tempering out [[99/98]]. The latter is called '''suprapyth''', a name coined by [[Mike Battaglia]] in 2011<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_96882.html#96895 Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''A few full 11-limit 896/891 temperaments'']</ref>. The [[2.3.7.11 subgroup]] restriction of suprapyth, known as [[supra]], is also notable. The two mappings unite on [[22edo]].

If intervals of 13 are desired, 13/8 is mapped to +13 generators, or a doubly augmented fourth (C–F𝄪), by tempering out [[91/90]]. In practice, however, this mapping only works in [[27edo]], as flatter tunings swap the sizes of [[13/12]] and [[14/13]]. An alternative mapping is -14 generators (known as [[uberpyth]]), or a doubly diminished octave (C–C𝄫), by tempering out [[144/143]]. This has a more flexible range, but the 13 tends to be tuned very sharp except in 27edo, as [[13/8]] is equated with [[18/11]]. A more practical option is to split the sharp ~3/2 into two ~[[16/13]]'s, which results in [[beatles]], and has an alternative mapping of primes 5 and 11. Alternatively, one can keep the superpyth mappings of 5 and 11 to get [[archytas clan #Thomas|thomas]].

[[Mos scale]]s of superpyth have cardinalities of 5, 7, 12, 17, or 22.
