'''Augmented''' is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] that sets [[5/4]] to one third of an [[2/1|octave]], [[tempering out]] the diesis, [[128/125]], and has a [[generator]] of a [[3/2|perfect fifth]]. The fifth can be tuned to [[12edo]], but a sharper tuning is often perferred for it to blend with the sharp 5/4. This gives rise to the natural [[7-limit]] [[extension]] (known as '''augene''') that tempers out [[64/63]] and [[126/125]], where the whole tone stands in for [[8/7]][[~]][[9/8]].

Further extension to the [[11-limit]] is available by noticing 128/125 = ([[56/55]])⋅([[176/175]]), and tempering out both commas means [[14/11]] is equated to the 1/3 octave as well. This does imply more [[damage]] in the 11-limit however, as the [[11/8]] is now conflated with [[7/5]].
