The '''canou family''' of [[rank-3 temperament]]s [[tempering out|tempers out]] the [[canousma]] ({{monzo|legend=1| 4 -14 3 4 }}, [[ratio]]: 4802000/4782969), a 7-limit comma measuring about 6.9 [[cent]]s.

The canou temperament features a [[period]] of an [[octave]] and [[generator]]s of [[3/2]] and [[81/70]]. The ~81/70 generator is about 255 cents wide, three of which make [[14/9]], and four make [[9/5]]. It therefore splits the large septimal diesis, [[49/48]], into three equal parts, guaranteeing the existence of two [[interseptimal interval]]s related to the 35th harmonic.

A basic tuning option would be [[99edo]], although [[80edo]] is even simpler and distinctive. More intricate tunings are provided by [[311edo]] and [[410edo]], whereas the [[optimal patent val]] goes up to [[1131edo]], associating it with the [[amicable]] temperament.

The fifth is in the range where a stack of four (i.e. a major third) can serve as ~[[19/15]] and a stack of five (i.e. a major seventh) can serve as ~[[19/10]], tempering out [[1216/1215]]. Moreover, the last generator of ~81/70 is sharpened to slightly overshoot [[22/19]], so it only makes sense to temper out their difference, [[1540/1539]]. The implied 11-limit comma is the [[symbiotic comma]], which suggests the [[wilschisma]] should also be tempered out in the [[13-limit]].

Semicanou adds 9801/9800, the [[kalisma]], to the comma list, and may be described as {{nowrap| 80 & 94 & 118 }}. It splits the octave into two equal parts, each representing 99/70~140/99. This takes advantage of the fact that {{nowrap| 99/70 {{=}} (81/70)⋅(11/9) }}.  
Semicathart (formerly ''semicanou'') adds 9801/9800, the [[kalisma]], to the comma list, and may be described as {{nowrap| 80 & 94 & 118 }}. It splits the octave into two equal parts, each representing 99/70~140/99. This takes advantage of the fact that {{nowrap| 99/70 {{=}} (81/70)⋅(11/9) }}.  


The other comma necessary to define it is 14641/14580, the [[semicanousma]], which is the difference between [[121/120]] and [[243/242]]. By flattening the 11th harmonic by about one cent, it identifies [[20/11]] by three [[11/9]]'s stacked, so an octave can be divided into 11/9, 11/9, 11/9, and 11/10.
