A '''non-over-2 temperament''', or '''non-/2 temperament''', is a [[regular temperament]] that tempers a [[subgroup]] corresponding to a harmonic series chord r:n<sub>1</sub>:...:n<sub>k</sub> where r ≠ 2, but is not meant to approximate a chord of the form 2:m<sub>1</sub>:...:m<sub>k</sub>.

A non-over-2 temperament, or non-/2 temperament, is a regular temperament that tempers a subgroup corresponding to a harmonic series chord r:n1:...:nk where r ≠ 2, but is not meant to approximate a chord of the form 2:m1:...:mk. Non-over-2 temperaments give regular-temperament interpretations to edos that approximate over-2 chords such as 4:5:6:7:11 poorly, such as 14edo, 18edo, 23edo and 29edo.
Examples
Tridec
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 that approximates the chord 5:7:11:13:15. The optimal generator is 455.2178¢, which is very close to 29edo's 11\29 (455.17¢), but we could accept any generator between 17\45 (453.33¢) and 8\21 (457.14¢), 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; however, provided you restrict yourself to the 8-note MOS, you're using it as a non-over-2 temperament.
The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of oneirotonic are as follows in various tridec tunings.
| 21edo | 29edo | 37edo | Optimal (POTE) tuning | JI intervals represented (2.3.7/5.11/5.13/5 subgroup) | |

Sensi
Sensi is effectively a non-over-2 temperament provided you restrict yourself to the sensi[8] MOS. The sensi[8] MOS only has a 5:6:7:9:13 chord, but no chord of the form 2:m1:...:mk (except 2:3). Thus sensi can be viewed as a 2.6/5.7/5.9/5.13/10 or 2.3.6/5.7/5.13/10 temperament. (See x31eq data page.)
