The '''guerrisma''', '''1815/1792''', is much like the larger inverse of the [[absinthma]], from which it differs by the [[Alpharabian comma]]. While the absinthma causes [[11/8]] to fall exactly halfway between [[4/3]] and [[10/7]], the guerrisma causes it to fall halfway between [[4/3]] and [[7/5]]. It is also extremely close to [[81/80]], exceeding it only by a lehmerisma ([[3025/3024]]).

It is tempered out in such notable EDOs as 22, 31 and 53, as well as the still fairly significant 26 and 29, as well as in a whole panoply of rank-2 temperaments.

The name of this comma is derived from ''guerre'', French for ''war'', after the ratio of 1815/1792. 1792-1815 was a period of many wars involving France, including both the Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars.
