== Jackpot temperament? ==

Why no jackpot temperament? Equal temperaments that are multiples of 7edo temper this out in their patent vals until 595edo (if I did my math right), which would make jackpot a 2.something.29 subgroup analog of whitewood in this range (that could be infill-extended to some more useful subgroups). (You probably want 2.something.29 to be 2.3.29 or 2.5.29, or 2.3.5.29 if you want to start it off rank-3; full 29-limit with nothing else tempered out would be rank-9.)

: > 2.something.29 subgroup

: That's the issue. In fact the comma is a 2.29-subgroup comma. There's no other primes involved. The corresponding minimal-prime-subgroup temp is 7et, and equal temps don't need names. The full-prime-limit temp is rank-9, as you noted, so that's also not notable.

: As a side note, 2187/2048 is the ''whitewood comma'' cuz whitewood ''is'' the full-prime-limit temp of the comma in the sense of being the first full-prime-limit temp that warrants a name.
