This is a collection of rank-3 temperaments tempering out the werckisma, 441/440 = [-3 2 -1 2 -1. For the rank-4 werckismic temperament, see Catalog of rank-4 temperaments #Werckismic (441/440).

Temperaments discussed elsewhere are:

Considered below are history, varuna, and trimyna.

History

History splits the perfect fourth into six, each for 21/20~22/21. A recommendable tuning is given by 289edo.

Trimyna

Trimyna can be described as the 27e & 29 & 31 temperament. All three equal temperaments have a fairly accurate tritone for ~7/5 (or ~10/7), and trimyna takes it as one of its generators. The name trimyna is a contraction of tritonic and myna.
