Hemifamity temperaments

The hemifamity temperaments temper out the hemifamity comma, [10 -6 1 -1⟩ = 5120/5103, dividing an exact or approximate septimal quartertone, 36/35 into two equal steps, each representing 81/80~64/63, the syntonic comma or the septimal comma. Therefore, classical and septimal intervals are found by the same circle of fifths inflected by the syntonic~septimal comma to the opposite sides. In addition we may identify 10/7 by the augmented fourth and 50/49 by the Pythagorean comma.

Belonging to it and considered below are undecental, leapday, mystery, quanic and ketchup. Other hemifamity temperaments are:

Undecental

Undecental adds the triwellisma to the comma list and may be described as the 29 & 70 temperament. 5/4 is mapped to the quintuple diminished seventh (5d7) or equivalently the perfect fourth (P4) - 3 Pyth. commas.

Leapday

Main article: Leapday

For the 5-limit version of this temperament, see High badness temperaments #Leapday.

Leapday tempers out [31 -21 1⟩ (trisayo) in the 5-limit, mapping 5/4 to the triple augmented unison (3A1) or equivalently the minor third (m3) + 2 Pyth. commas. This temperament can be described as the 29 & 46 temperament, which tempers out the hemifamity and 686/675 (senga). The alternative extension polypyth (46 & 121) tempers out the same 5-limit comma as the leapday, but with the porwell (6144/6125) rather than the hemifamity tempered out.
