Very low accuracy temperaments
Below are listed some very low accuracy temperaments. Temperaments with exceedingly low accuracy such as these tend to temper out very large “commas” such as 9/8, 32/27, or 15/14, equating wildly different interval sizes. All temperaments listed temper out an interval of at least size 15/14.
Antitonic
This temperament is characterized by 9/8 being tempering out, and has been termed a "troll temperament". It is named on account of 4/3 and 3/2 both being represented by the 600 cent half octave, which, in terms of diatonic function, serves as an antitonic. Surprisingly, it has extensions all the way up to the 11-limit, as confirmed by the data from x31eq. The original 5-limit is basically the 3-limit music of 2edo with the addition of harmonic 5 represented by an independent generator.
