The [[3-limit]] does not have a simple neutral second, so we start with the 5-limit:
The [[3-limit]] does not have a simple neutral second, so we start with the 5-limit:
 
* The 5-limit acute minor second or large limma is a ratio of [[27/25]], and is about 133{{c}}.
* The 5-limit '''acute minor second''' or '''large limma''' is a ratio of [[27/25]], and is about 133{{c}}.
* The 7-limit septimal neutral second is a ratio of [[35/32]], and is about 155{{c}}.
* The 7-limit '''septimal neutral second''' is a ratio of [[35/32]], and is about 155{{c}}.
** There is also a 7-limit swetismic neutral second, which is a ratio of [[49/45]], and is about 147{{c}}.
** There is also a 7-limit '''swetismic neutral second''', which is a ratio of [[49/45]], and is about 147{{c}}.
* The 11-limit (undecimal) neutral/submajor seconds are the ratios of [[12/11]] and [[11/10]], which are about 151{{c}} and 165{{c}}, respectively; 11/10 in particular can also be analyzed as a [[major second]]. Despite that, it is also here for completeness.
* The 11-limit '''(undecimal) neutral/submajor seconds''' are the ratios of [[12/11]] and [[11/10]], which are about 151{{c}} and 165{{c}}, respectively; 11/10 in particular can also be analyzed as a [[major second]]. Despite that, it is also here for completeness.
* The 13-limit (tridecimal) neutral/supraminor seconds are the ratios of [[14/13]] and [[13/12]], which are about 128{{c}} and 139{{c}}, respectively; 14/13 in particular can also be analyzed as a [[semitone]]. Despite that, it is also here for completeness.
