Amity

From Xenharmonic Reference

Amity (from "acute minor third"), ​46 & ​53, is a complex 7-limit temperament splitting 8/3 into 5 supraminor thirds about 339c-340c in size. It has a tuning that is very accurate in the 7-limit (namely 99edo).

Amity is a 7-cluster temperament due to its generator being only slightly flatter than 2\7.
