: The sensipent family tempers out the [[sensipent comma]], 78732/78125 ({{monzo| 2 9 -7 }}), also known as the medium semicomma. Its generator is {{nowrap| ~162/125 {{=}} ~443{{c}} }}. Seven generators equals a double-compound fifth of ~6/1. 5/4 is equated to 9 generators minus 3 octaves. Tunings include [[8edo]], [[19edo]], [[46edo]], and [[65edo]]. Its color name is Sepguti. An obvious 7-limit interpretation of the generator is 9/7, leading to the Sasepzoti temperament. | : The sensipent family tempers out the [[sensipent comma]], 78732/78125 ({{monzo| 2 9 -7 }}), also known as the medium semicomma.
