The '''monzisma''' is a [[5-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] measuring about 0.29 cents.  Although difficult to grasp at a glance, it is the difference between the [[schisma]] and the [[counterschisma]], the difference between a stack of three schismas and the [[amity comma]], and the difference between a stack of four schismas and the [[kleisma]], as well as the difference between a stack of five schismas and the [[semicomma]].  Tempering it out leads to [[Very_high_accuracy_temperaments #Monzismic|monzismic temperament]].  
The '''monzisma''' is a [[5-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] measuring about 0.29 cents.  Although difficult to grasp at a glance, it is the difference between the a stack of two [[schisma]]s and the [[53-comma]]. It is also the difference between three [[pythagorean comma]]s and [[25/24]]. Tempering it out leads to [[Very high accuracy temperaments #Monzismic|monzismic temperament]], as part of the [[schismic–Mercator equivalence continuum]].
 
A possibly more accessible way to grasp this comma is as the difference between a stack of seven [[256/243]] Pythagorean limmas and a [[36/25]] tritone.
