'''729/704''', the '''Alpharabian infraaugmented prime''' or '''Alpharabian infraapotomic quartertone''' is a type of quartertone that differs from [[33/32]] by [[243/242]], and is itself the interval left over after subtracting 33/32 from [[2187/2048]].  While many may be accustomed to thinking of 33/32 and 729/704 as "semiaugmented primes", this analysis is only completely accurate when 243/242 is tempered out.  This interval differs from the simpler [[28/27]] by the [[symbiotic comma]].  This interval is referred to in the [http://www.huygens-fokker.org/docs/intervals.html Huygens-Fokker Foundation's interval list] as the '''undecimal major diesis'''.
'''729/704''', conventionally named the '''undecimal major diesis'''<ref>[http://www.huygens-fokker.org/docs/intervals.html Huygens-Fokker Foundation's interval list]</ref>, is a [[medium comma]] measuring about 60.4{{cent}}. In [[Alpharabian tuning]], it is called the '''Alpharabian infra-augmented prime''' or '''Alpharabian infra-apotomic quartertone'''.
 
It is a type of quartertone that differs from [[33/32]] by [[243/242]], and is itself the interval left over after subtracting 33/32 from [[2187/2048]].  While many may be accustomed to thinking of 33/32 and 729/704 as "semiaugmented primes", this analysis is only completely accurate when 243/242 is tempered out.  This interval differs from the simpler [[28/27]] by the [[symbiotic comma]].  Furthermore, three instances of this interval fall short of [[10/9]] by a comma that is only a little over a cent in size.
 
== Sagittal notation ==
In the [[Sagittal]] system, the downward version of this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | (!) }} and is called the '''11 large diesis''', or '''11L''' for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 11/1 (equiv. 11/8), as for example in F-B{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | (!) }}. The upward version is called '''1/11L''' or '''11L up''' and is represented by {{sagittal| (|) }}.
