Names for important high-complexity temperaments

While we are on the subject of names, a less urgent question which now
would nevertheless be a good time to bring up is what people think of
the names I've hung on some important temperaments over Paul's cutoff.

<<22 -5 3 -59 -57 21|| tertiaseptal

<<16 2 5 -34 -37 6|| hemiwuerschmidt

<<2 25 13 35 15 -40|| hemififths

<<5 13 -17 9 -41 -76|| amity

<<40 22 21 -58 -79 -13|| tritonic?

<<4 -32 -15 -60 -35 55|| sesquiquartififths?

The name "tritonic" I'm suggesting since 7/5 is a poptimal generator
(though not, as one might have guessed, because it is minimax.)
Sesquiqartififths is not a very elegant name, but (3/2)^(1/4) is a
poptimal generator for this temperament. Sesquiquarschismic or
something of that sort might be another approach. Or we could be to go
the zoo and pick an animal.

I think it could make a certain amout of sense to use "hemi-" for related temperaments with half-size generators (hemiwuerschmidt actually contains wuerschmidt in the same way as hemikleismic contains kleismic and superpelog contains mavila, so superpelog might be "hemimavila").

"Amity" is familiar by now and I can't think of anything better.

Is "tritonic" a better name for <<40, 22, 21, -58, -79, -13]] than for <<5, -11, -12, -29, -33, 3]] ?

<<4, -32, -15, -60, -35, 55]] came up in my 11-limit temperament search as <<4, -32, -15, 10, -60, -35, 2, 55, 134, 80]]. It has some resemblance to vulture without being related, so I'll suggest "buzzard". Specifically, they both have 48-note MOS scales, the step size ratio is fairly similar (around 2.6 - 2.7 between large and small steps), and the generator of vulture is the fourth root of 3/1 (compared to the fourth root of 3/2).
