Parakleismic is a microtemperament generated by a ~6/5 minor third, much like catakleismic but a good tuning has the generator flat, instead of sharp, than just. The sixth generator step is half a syntonic comma flat of the 3rd harmonic. Consequently, the 12th generator step after octave reduction represents 10/9 instead of 9/8, and the 13th generator step after octave reduction represents 4/3. This results in the parakleisma being tempered out.

Note that 5/4 is found at the 14th generator step (as the octave complement of 8/5) and is already split in halves. Letting each part represent 28/25 gives rise to the canonical 7-limit extension where it tempers out 3136/3125 and 4375/4374.

Extensions for harmonic 11 include undecimal parakleismic, mapping it to +36 steps, paralytic, to -82 steps, parkleismic, to -63 steps, and paradigmic, to +17 steps.

See Ragismic microtemperaments #Parakleismic for technical data. See Parakleismic extensions for a discussion on 11- and 13-limit extensions.
