|-14 -19 19>, the enneadeca or 19-tone-comma, is an interval of 2.816 cents which is the amount by which nineteen minor thirds fall short of five octaves, that is, 2^5/(6/5)^19. Equal divisions divisible by 19 less than or equal to 228 temper out the enneadeca; these include [[19edo|19edo]], [[38edo|38edo]], [[57edo|57edo]], [[76edo|76edo]], [[114edo|114edo]], [[152edo|152edo]], [[171edo|171edo]], [[190edo|190edo]] and [[228edo|228edo]].

{{Monzo| -14 -19 19 }}, the '''enneadeca''' or '''19-tone-comma''', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[5-limit]] [[comma]] of 2.816 [[cent]]s which is the amount by which nineteen [[6/5|classical minor thirds]] fall short of five [[2/1|octaves]], that is, 2<sup>5</sup>/(6/5)<sup>19</sup>.  
 
== Temperament ==
Tempering out the enneadeca leads to the [[enneadecal]] temperament, supported by equal divisions divisible by 19 such as [[19edo]], [[38edo]], [[57edo]], [[76edo]], [[114edo]], [[152edo]], [[171edo]], [[190edo]] and [[228edo]].
 
== Etymology ==
This comma was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2001 in terms of the corresponding temperament, ''enneadecal''<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_2121.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Shismic & co'']</ref>, for the temperament has 19 periods per octave. The comma was at one point dubbed ''enneadecima''<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_5025.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''5-limit comma names'']</ref>, though it was ''enneadeca'' that stuck.
