* [[Chromatic pairs#Tridec|Tridec]] (a 2.3.7/5.11/5.13/5 subgroup temperament that approximates 5:7:11:13:15), when the generator is between 453.33c (17\45) and 457.14c (8\21). These have near-equal L/s ratios of 6/5 to 3/2.

* [[Hemifamity_temperaments#Buzzard|Buzzard]], when the generator is between 471.42¢ (11\28) and 480¢ (2\5). While this is a harmonically accurate temperament, with 4 generators reaching [[3/2]] and -3 generators [[7/4]], it is relatively weak melodically, as the optimum size of the small steps is around 20-25 cents, making it difficult to distinguish from equal pentatonic.

Petrtri tunings (with generator between 8\21 and 5\13) have less extreme L-to-s ratios than A-Team tunings, between 3/2 and 2/1. The 8\21-to-5\13 range of oneirotonic tunings remains relatively unexplored. In these tunings,

* The major mosthird (made of two large steps) in these tunings tends to be more of a neutral third, ranging from 6\21 (342c) to 4\13 (369c), and the temperament interprets it as both [[11/9]] and [[16/13]].

The three major edos in this range, [[13edo]], [[21edo]] and [[34edo]], all nominally support petrtri, but [[34edo]] is close to optimal for the temperament, with a generator only .33c flat of the optimal ([[POTE]]) petrtri generator of 459.1502c. Close-to-optimal petrtri tunings such as 34edo may be particularly useful for the Sarnathian mode, as Sarnathian in these tunings uniquely approximates four over-2 harmonics plausibly, namely 17/16, 5/4, 11/8, and 13/8.

=== Tridec (29&37) ===
In the broad sense, Tridec can be viewed as any oneirotonic tuning that equates three oneirotonic large steps to a [[4/3]] perfect fourth. [This identification may come in handy since many altered oneirotonic modes have three consecutive large steps.] Based on the JI interpretations of the [[29edo]] and [[37edo]] tunings, it can in fact be viewed as a 2.3.7/5.11/5.13/5 temperament, i.e. a [[Non-over-2 temperament|non-over-2 temperament]] that approximates the chord 5:7:11:13:15. The optimal generator is 455.2178c, which is very close to 29edo's 11\29 (455.17c), but we could accept any generator between 17\45 (453.33c) and 8\21 (457.14c), if we stipulate that the 3/2 has to be between [[7edo]]'s fifth and [[5edo]]'s fifth.

Tridec essentially contains all the notes of 2.3.5 [[porcupine]] temperament and satisfies all its relations; hence it is essentially the same as 13-limit [[Ammonite]].

A-Team oneirotonic may be a particularly good place to bring to bear [[primodality]]'s high harmonic series chords, as A-Team temperament doesn't yield many low-complexity chords.

18edo may be a better basis for a style of oneirotonic primodality using comma sharp and comma flat fifths than 13edo (in particular diesis sharp and diesis flat fifths; diesis is a category with a central region of 32 to 40c). In 18edo both the major fifth (+31.4c) and the minor fifth (-35.3c) are about a diesis off from a just perfect fifth. In 13edo only the major fifth is a diesis sharp, and it is +36.5c off from just; so there's less wiggle room for a [[neji]] if you want every major fifth to be at most a diesis sharp).
