Xenial is a rank-2 temperament that is generated by a sharpened minor whole tone of ~10/9, so that nine generators reach 4/3, 17 reach 8/5, 21 reach 16/13 and 33 reach 8/7 with octave reduction. It is also generated by dividing 11th harmonic into 22 equal parts, 17th harmonic into 26 equal parts, or 19th harmonic into 27 equal parts.
