The 2L 5s scale is generated by a very accurate [[4/3]], such that two of them wind up on a near exact [[16/9]], which period-reduces to [[16/15]] (the minor mossecond). This interval taken 2 times is approximated by an [[8/7]], and taken 4 times is approximated by a [[6/5]] (or [[2/1]] in the next mosoctave). These 2 equivalencies result in two tempered commas: the marvel comma - [[225/224]] ((16/15)2=(8/7)), and the diaschisma - [[2048/2025]] ((16/15)3=(6/5)). The diaschisma can also be tempered by taking 5 generators to mean a [[3/2]] ((4/3)5=(3/2)·(5/3)2). The tempered marvel comma also means that the two large [[Tritone|tritones]] ([[64/45|pental]] and [[10/7|septimal]]) are addressed by the same scale step. The tempered diaschisma, on the other hand, means that both pental tritones are also addressed by the same scale step. [[User:Ayceman|I]] propose the name '''tristone''' for ~~this~~ temperament, as 3 semitones make a period-reduced octave, and it alludes to the tritone tempering.

The diaschisma can also be tempered by taking 5 generators to mean a [[3/2]] ((4/3)5=(3/2)·(5/3)2), while the marvel comma can also be tempered with a stack of 3 generators, making a [[10/7]] ((4/3)3=(10/7)·(5/3)). The tempered marvel comma also means that the two large [[Tritone|tritones]] ([[64/45|pental]] and [[10/7|septimal]]) are addressed by the same scale step. The tempered diaschisma, on the other hand, means that both pental tritones are also addressed by the same scale step. [[User:Ayceman|I]] propose the name '''tristone''' for the basic temperament, as 3 semitones make a period-reduced octave, and it alludes to the tritone tempering.
