Original Wikitext content:

Pajara (pronounced with the J as in "jar") is a temperament with a half-octave period that represents both 7/5 and 10/7, so 50/49 is tempered out and it is in the [[jubilismic clan]]. The generator is in the neighborhood of 105-110 cents, so that period + generator represents 3/2. Period minus 2 generators is 5/4, which, if you work it out, implies that 2048/2025 is tempered out, so pajara is also in the [[diaschismic family]]. Finally, two 4/3s (or a 2/1 minus two generators) represents 7/4 as well as 16/9, so 64/63 is tempered out and pajara is in the [[Archytas clan]]. Tempering out any two of these commas (among others) produces the unique temperament, pajara.

The 10-note MOS and LsssLsssss almost-MOS are called the symmetric and pentachordal decatonic scales and were independently invented/discovered by [[Paul Erlich]] and [[Gene Ward Smith]]. They are often thought of as subsets of [[22edo]], without much loss of generality and accuracy.

==Interval chains== 
There are two different mappings of the 11 limit. One is just called "pajara" and is slightly more complex but suffers almost no loss of accuracy compared to the 7 limit. The other, called "pajarous" to avoid confusion, loses some accuracy and there's little reason to use it unless you're using [[22edo]], which is the intersection of both systems.

==MOSes== 
===10-note (proper)=== 
See [[2L 8s]].
The true MOS is called the "symmetric" decatonic scale, because it repeats exactly at the half-octave, so the symmetric scale starting from 7/5~10/7 is the same as the symmetric scale starting from 1/1. The near-MOS, LsssLsssss, in which only the 5-step interval violates the "no more than 2 intervals per class" rule, is called the "pentachordal" decatonic, because it consists of two identical "pentachords" plus a split 9/8~8/7 whole tone to complete the octave.

===12-note (proper)=== 
See [[10L 2s]].

The generator is in the neighborhood of 105-110 cents, so that period + generator represents 3/2. Period minus 2 generators is 5/4, which, if you work it out, implies that 2048/2025 is tempered out, so pajara is also in the [[diaschismic family]]. Finally, two 4/3s (or a 2/1 minus two generators) represents 7/4 as well as 16/9, so 64/63 is tempered out and pajara is in the [[Archytas clan]]. Tempering out any two of these commas (among others) produces the unique temperament, pajara.
