Regular temperaments
16ed5/2 can also be thought of as a generator of the 2.3.5.17.19 subgroup temperament which tempers out 256/255, 361/360, and 4624/4617, which is a cluster temperament with 12 clusters of notes in an octave (quintaleap temperament). This temperament is supported by 12-, 109-, 121-, 133-, 145-, and 157edo.
Tempering out 400/399 (equating 20/19 and 21/20) leads to quintupole (12&121), and tempering out 476/475 (equating 19/17 with 28/25) leads to quinticosiennic (12&145).
Another temperament related to 16ed5/2 is quintapole (12&85). It is practically identical to the Galilei tuning, which is generated by the ratios 2/1 and 18/17.
