Interval information |
531441/528125, the dinos comma, is a small 13-limit comma. It can be expressed as (9/5)/(325/243)2, (9/5)/(4/3)2/(325/324)2 and (81/80)/(325/324)2, among other expressions.
Temperaments
Tempering out this comma means equating a stack of two 325/243 (tridecimal marvelous fourth) with 9/5. This comma is tempered out in some 13-limit temperaments, e.g. flattone.
Etymology
The name "dinos" is proposed by Dummy index in 2024. It means: "miNOr Seventh is divided into 2 equal parts". The same argument holds for 3136/3125 = (9/5)/(75/56)2 (hemimean comma) and 589824/588245 = (9/5)/(343/256)^2 (hewuermera comma), but the comma is no-twos and requires only one additional prime base (3.5 for 9/5 and additional .13 for the comma).
