Commas
Distincly tempered out commas
12edo is distincly consistent in the 5-odd-limit. There are precisely 14 commas distinctly tempered out, which are ratios formed by sequences of intervals where every note is unique, except for the starting and ending notes, which remain the same.

Other tempered out commas
12edo remains consistent within the 9-odd-limit. Therefore, it's worthwhile to explore ratios tempered out in the 7-limit, particularly those with simple factorizations that facilitate quick harmonic operations.

MOS series of 5-odd-limit intervals tempering out 5-limit commas
Due to the octave equivalence principle within the odd-limit concept, the 5-odd-limit contains only two prime numbers: 3 and 5. Consequently, all distinctly tempered commas possess at least one rank-2 MOS series of intervals that tempers them out.
