	No-twos temperaments exclude the second harmonic, thus meaning the next lowest prime, 3, is the best remaining option for an equave. If you then also remove the 3rd harmonic, ~~it makes~~ the ~~5th harmonic into~~ the equave. Of course you can keep removing even more primes making 7th, 11th, etc. harmonics as the equave, but it will probably be impractical.		No-twos temperaments exclude the second harmonic, thus meaning the next lowest prime, 3, is the best remaining option for an equave. If you then also remove the 3rd harmonic, the best remaining option for the equave would be [[5/1]] (also known as the pentane).
