'''625/624''', currently dubbed the '''vinctrias comma''' or '''vinctriasma''', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticable]] [[13-limit]] comma with a value of roughly 2.77 [[cent]]s. Tempering out this comma not only equates [[25/24]] with [[26/25]]- splitting 13/12 in half and going part of the way towards splitting the [[9/8]] whole tone into three (the other comma that needs to be tempered in order to finish this job is [[676/675]])- but also equates [[39/32]] with the interval that results from stacking four [[5/4]] major thirds then octave-reducing.
'''625/624''', the '''tunbarsma''', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[13-limit]] comma with a value of roughly 2.77 [[cent]]s. Tempering out this comma not only equates [[25/24]] with [[26/25]] splitting [[13/12]] in half and going part of the way towards splitting the [[9/8]] whole tone into three (the other comma that needs to be tempered in order to finish this job is [[676/675]]; tempering out both gives [[cata]]) but also equates [[39/32]] with the interval that results from stacking four [[5/4]] major thirds then octave-reducing.


The term "vinctrias", from which both of this comma's names are derived, is a portmanteau of Latin ''vincire'' (to ''bind'', to ''tie up'') and Latin ''trias'' (referring to the the number three or to a triad) that was coined in reference to the fact that 625/624 is tempered out in such well-known temperaments as Catakleismic, Tritikleismic, Quadritikleismic, Octoid, Benediction, Sqrtphi, Ekadash, Countercata, Widefourth, Portentious, Yajna, Enlil, Hanuman, Marvel and Agni, and to how tempering it out simulataneously equates different kinds of neutral third and goes part of the way towards dividing the whole tone into thirds.
In terms of commas, it is the difference between
* [[325/324]] and [[676/675]]
* [[385/384]] and [[1001/1000]]
