Parakleismic family
- This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.
The parakleismic family of temperaments tempers out the parakleisma (monzo: [8 14 -13⟩, ratio: 1 224 440 064 / 1 220 703 125).
Parakleismic
Parakleismic has a generator a very slightly flat classical minor third. Note that in the data that follow, the generator is its octave complement, ~5/3, thirteen of which give the interval class of 3, and fourteen give the interval class of 5. It is a member of the syntonic–kleismic equivalence continuum, with equivalence number n = 13/2. It is an undoubted microtemperament in the 5-limit, with the 118edo tuning giving errors well under a cent.

Septimal parakleismic
While 118edo no longer has better than a cent of accuracy in the 7-limit, it is a decent temperament there nonetheless, and this allows an extension adding 3136/3125 and 4375/4374, for which 99edo, 118edo, and especially 217edo are accurate tunings.
Parakleismic does not extend easily to the 11- or 13-limit. Possible 11-limit extensions include undecimal parakleismic (99 & 118), paralytic (99e & 118), parkleismic (80 & 99), and paradigmic (80 & 99e).

Paralytic

Paraklein (19e & 118) is another 13-limit extension of paralytic, which equates 13/11 with 32/27, 14/13 with 15/14, 25/24 with 26/25, and 27/26 with 28/27.
