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]].
