The '''vulture [[comma]]''' ({{Monzo| 24 -21 4 }} = '''10485760000/10460353203'''), of 4.200 [[cent]]s, is the amount by which four grave fourth intervals of [[320/243]] exceed [[3/1]], in other words (320/243)^4/3. Tempering it out leads to [[vulture family]] temperaments.
The '''vulture comma''' ([[monzo]]: {{monzo| 24 -21 4 }}, [[ratio]]: 10 485 760 000 / 10 460 353 203) of 4.200 [[cent]]s, is the amount by which four grave fourth intervals of [[320/243]] exceed [[3/1]], in other words (320/243)<sup>4</sup>/3. It is also the amount by which a stack of four [[syntonic comma]]s falls short of the [[256/243]] Pythagorean limma, as well as the amount by which a stack of three [[729/640]] acute whole tones fall short of a [[40/27]] classic grave fifth.
