97th-octave temperaments occur between any equal divisions whose greatest common divisor is 97.
Although harmonic quality of 97edo is not visible at first glance, some of its multiples are highly notable large edos. 388edo is the first edo to be consistent in the 37-odd-limit, 3395edo is a zeta edo and a strong 19-limit tuning, having lowest 19-limit relative error than any division before it, and while 2619edo is not remarkably strong in harmonic approximation, it is consistent in the 33-odd-limit.
Berkelium
Berkelium is a remarkable high-limit subgroup temperament with equally remarkable full 31-limit branchings. It is named after the 97th element,
Berkelium comes in two variants, berkelium-247, named after the most stable isotope, is described as the 388 & 3395 temperament. Another 31-limit variety, named berkelium-248 is described as a 388 & 2619 temperament.
Different branchings of berkelium also map 1 step of 97edo to drastically different intervals, each of which could be used in a comma pump. Berkelium-247 maps the period in the higher limits to 144/143, the grossma.
