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.

See Starling temperaments #Xenial for more technical data.
