- This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.
This is a collection of rank-2 horwell temperaments, which temper out the horwell comma (monzo: [-16 1 5 1⟩, ratio: 65625/65536).
Temperaments discussed elsewhere are
- Semabila (+49/48) → Mabila family
- Worschmidt (+126/125) → Würschmidt family
- Escaped (+245/243) → Escapade family

Fifthplus
- For the 5-limit version, see Miscellaneous 5-limit temperaments #Sesesix.
Fifthplus tempers out the wizma in addition to the horwell comma, and may be described as the 22 & 171. The name fifthplus means using a sharp fifth interval (such as a superpyth fifth) as a generator. It is a restriction of prime archagall.

Emkay

Emkay may be described as the 87 & 224 temperament. It tempers out the same 5-limit comma as the emka (37 & 50), but with the horwell comma (65625/65536) rather than the hemimean comma (3136/3125) tempered out.

Oquatonic
- For the 5-limit version, see 28th-octave temperaments #Oquatonic (5-limit).
Oquatonic has a period of 1/28 octave and tempers out the horwell (65625/65536) and the dimcomp comma (390625/388962). In this temperament, the 5/4 major third is mapped to 9\28.
The name oquatonic was given by Petr Pařízek in 2011 as an abbreviation of the Italian ottantaquatro ("eighty-four")[1].

Bezique
Bezique splits the octave into 32 equal parts and reaches 3/2, 8/5 and 11/8 in just one generator with the 64-tone mos. The card game of bezique is played with two packs of 32 cards, hence the name.
