The pessoalisma is an unnoticeable 7-limit comma with a ratio of 2147483648/2144153025 and a value of approximately 2.69 cents. Tempering it out leads to a form of pessoal temperament. This comma is one of the defining commas in temperaments such as Abigail in the 7-limit, and "Abigail" itself is a person's name, leading to the use of the Portuguese word "pessoal" (meaning "staff" or "folks"[1]) for this comma's temperament name, and thus the comma's name of "pessoalisma".
