The dicot family is a low-accuracy family of temperaments which temper out the chromatic semitone, 25/24, and hence identify major and minor thirds. [[7edo]] makes for a good dicot tuning.

The semicomma 2109375/2097152 = |-21 3 7&gt; is tempered out by the members of the semicomma family. It doesn't have much independent existence as a 5-limit temperament, since its generator has a natural interpretation as 7/6, leading to orwell temperament.
