	* [[~~Very high accuracy temperaments~~ #~~Quectismic~~]]		[[Tempering out]] this comma leads to the '''quectismic''' temperament. [[Edo]]s with very accurate fifths such as [[665edo]] temper out this comma. This temperament, with its ultra-long [[chain of fifths]], has been used to [https://github.com/FloraCanou/temperament_evaluator/wiki/Precision-limits stress test] the [https://github.com/FloraCanou/temperament_evaluator Temperament Evaluator].

			== Etymology ==
			This comma was named by [[CompactStar]] in 2023, most likely after the SI prefix [[Wiktionary: quecto- #English\|''quecto-'']].

I've used this mathematically as a stress test subject for my Temperament Evaluator
