| Interval information |
The enneadeca (monzo: [-14 -19 19⟩) is an unnoticeable 5-limit comma of 2.816 cents. It is the amount by which nineteen classical minor thirds fall short of five octaves, that is, 25/(6/5)19.
Temperament
Tempering out the enneadeca leads to the 5-limit enneadecal temperament, supported by equal divisions divisible by 19 such as 152edo, 171edo, and 190edo.
Etymology
This comma was named by Gene Ward Smith in 2001 in terms of the corresponding temperament, enneadecal[1], for the temperament has 19 periods per octave. The comma was at one point dubbed enneadecima[2], though it was enneadeca that stuck.
