Tritonopod

Period-35, 17 generators are equal to 7/5, 18 generators are equal to 10/7.

Soviet Ferris wheel

Defined as the 320 & 460 temperament, and named because it's a period-20 temperament, and there are 20 cabins on a standard ferris wheel found throughout most of Eastern Europe and Central Asia (as in abandoned Pripyat wheel, for example).

17-limit

Subgroup: 2.3.5.7.11.13.17.19

Comma list: 833/832, 1001/1000, 1225/1224, 4225/4224, 4459/4455

Mapping generators: ~88/85, ~238/165

Optimal tuning (CTE): ~238/165 = 633.913

Vals: 140, 320, 460

19-limit

Subgroup: 2.3.5.7.11.13.17.19

Comma list: 833/832, 1001/1000, 1225/1224, 1729/1728, 2926/2925, 4459/4455

Mapping generators: ~88/85, ~238/165

Optimal tuning (CTE): ~238/165 = 633.913

Vals: 140, 320, 460

Playing cards

It is the 31-limit temperament defined as 2860 & 3224 by tempering out the 2.29.31 [-5 -52 52] comma, which sets a stack of 52 31/29s equal to 5 octaves.

Since it is conceived in the 31-limit, it makes no sense to define it for smaller subgroups.

Binilnilium

Named after the provisional name for the 200th element, tempers out the 200-comma ([-317 200>) and the ragisma (4375/4374).

Nuclear matter

Defined as the 22 & 69 temperament, and the comma in the 5-limit is [-41, 1, 17⟩. The name comes from the fact that nuclear matter density is 4.1 * 10^17 kg/m^3.

Optimal tuning (CTE): ~5/4

Vals: 22, 69
