In [[19-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''20/19''' is the '''small undevicesimal semitone''', measuring about 88.8¢ (almost exactly 1/3 of a subminor third of [[7/6]]). Its [[octave complement]] is [[19/10]], the "undevicesimal diminished octave". It is very close to 2 steps out of [[27edo]], or 88.8889 cents.
In [[19-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''20/19''' is the '''small undevicesimal semitone''' or '''Eratosthenes' semitone''', measuring about 88.8{{cent}}. It is flat of the [[256/243|Pythagorean limma (256/243)]] by [[1216/1215]], the ''password'' aka ''Eratosthenes' comma''.  


The small comma (7/6)/(20/19)^3 = 48013/48000 is tempered out in 12, 41, 53, 68, 80, 94, 121, 161, 190, 202, 217, 229, 243, 270, 282, 311, 323, 364, 460, 472, 513, 525, 540, 581, 742, 783, 795, 1012, 1053, 1106, 1308, 1323, 1578, 1848, 1889, and 2320 EDOs, leading to a variety of temperaments in which three semitones make up a subminor third.
It is almost exactly 1/3 of a subminor third of [[7/6]]. The small comma (7/6)/(20/19)<sup>3</sup> = 48013/48000 is tempered out in {{EDOs| 12, 41, 53, 68, 80, 94, 121, 161, 190, 202, 217, 229, 243, 270, 282, 311, 323, 364, 460, 472, 513, 525, 540, 581, 742, 783, 795, 1012, 1053, 1106, 1308, 1323, 1578, 1848, 1889, and 2320 EDOs}}, leading to a variety of temperaments in which three semitones make up a subminor third.


The password comma, (256/243)/(20/19) = (19/18)/(135/128) = 1216/1215 is tempered out in 12, 29, 41, 53, 65, 77, 87, 94, 99, 106, 111, 118, 130, 140, 152, 159, 183, 193, 205, 217, 270, 282, 311, 323, 364, 400, 422, 581, and 692 EDOs, leading to a variety of temperaments which identifies small undevicesimal semitone with [[256/243|Pythagorean limma]] and greater undevicesimal semitone with [[135/128|major limma]] respectively.
It is very close to 2 steps out of [[27edo]], or 88.8889{{cent}}.
