== History and etymology ==
This comma was known as the ''gentle comma'' from 2011. In 2022, [[Margo Schulter]] requested it should be changed to ''minor''/''lesser gentle comma'' to distinguish it from [[352/351]], which would gain the name ''major''/''greater gentle comma''. The ''minor minthma'' was also added to this comma in contrast to the ''major minthma'' of 352/351. Both commas were essential to define the [[gentle]] temperament.
