In terms of the kernel, which is to say the commas it tempers out, it tempers out the Pythagorean comma, 3<sup>12</sup>/2<sup>19</sup>, the Didymus comma, [[81/80]], the diesis, [[128/125]], the diaschisma, [[2048/2025]], the Archytas comma, [[64/63]], the septimal quartertone, [[36/35]], the jubilisma, [[50/49]], the septimal semicomma, [[126/125]], and the septimal kleisma, [[225/224]]. Each of these affects the structure of 12ET in specific ways, and tuning systems which share the comma in question will be similar to 12ET in precisely those ways.

12edo is the largest equal division of the octave which uniquely patently alternates with an *ed(9/8) in a [[Well tempered nonet|wtn]], and it also contains [[2edo]], [[3edo]], [[4edo]] and [[6edo]] as subsets.
