The comma '''180224/177147''' is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[11-limit]] comma that is the difference between [[33/32]] and the [[531441/524288|Pythagorean comma]]. Tempering out this comma makes 11/8 a double-diminished fifth (C-Gbb) and 11/9 an augmented second (C-D#), which allows for the access of undecimal intervals in the brighter modes of the [[5L 7s|Pythagorean chromatic scale]] but not the diatonic scale.
The '''dew comma''' ([[ratio]]: 180224/177147, {{monzo|legend=1| 14 -11 0 0 1 }}) is an [[11-limit]] (2.3.11 [[subgroup]]) [[comma]] that is the difference between [[33/32]] and the [[Pythagorean comma]]. This comma is [[tempered out]] in edos with fifths in the [[gentle region]] such as [[17edo]], [[29edo]], [[46edo]] and [[63edo]], meaning [[11/8]] is an augmented third (C-E#), [[11/9]] is an augmented second (C-D#), and 27/22 is a diminished fourth (C-Fb). This allows for the access of undecimal intervals in certain modes of the [[5L 7s]] chromatic scale but not the diatonic scale.
