Mohaha is the 2.3.5.11 subgroup temperament with a generator of a neutral third, two of which make up a fifth, and which can be taken to represent 11/9. Mohaha can be thought of, intuitively, as "meantone with quarter tones"; as is the 3/2 generator subdivided in half, so is the 25/24 chromatic semitone divided into two equal ~33/32 quarter tones (in the 2.3.5.11 subgroup). Within this paradigm, mohaha is the temperament that splits the 3/2 into two equal 11/9's, that splits the 6/5 into two equal 11/10's, and that maps four 3/2's to 5/1. It has a 7-note MOS with three larger steps and four smaller ones, going sLsLsLs.
