Temperaments

Tempering it out leads to the supermagic temperament. See Keemic family for the rank-3 temperament family where it is tempered out. See Keemic temperaments for a collection of rank-2 temperaments where it is tempered out.

Etymology

This comma was first named as supermagic by Gene Ward Smith in 2005 as a contraction of superkleismic and magic[1], hence the name of the corresponding rank-3 temperament. It is not clear how it later became keema, but the root of keema is obvious, being a contraction of keemun and magic.
