Tetrahanson
The tetrahanson temperament is a nonoctave kleismic temperament, tempering out the kleisma in the 4.3.5 subgroup and repeating at the double octave 4/1. It is generated by 5/3 and, like in normal hanson temperament, 6 of them make a 4/3. Tetrahanson does not contain any 5-limit major or minor triads, but it does have different voicings of them (3:4:5 and 12:15:20), which, to a 12edo-accustomed listener, can make it sound like the root is the real root and the perfect fifth above it at the same time.
For technical information see Subgroup temperaments#Tetrahanson.

Tetrahanson on tritave
In tritave-repeating tetrahanson (3.4.5 subgroup), 36/25 actually represents 1\3edt, which makes the 3rd-tritave period.
b39 & b15
This is restriction of catalan extension. This can maintain the structure of the 3rd-octave period in 3.4.5, 3.5.11, and 3.5.13. Well, 3.4.5 and 3.5.13, which do not include 7 or 11 in their basis, should simply be called tetrahanson (and no-twos defactored cata, respectively).
