The comma was named by [[Eliora]]. The first name is by analogy with [[quectisma]], meaning that both are the same commas that reach [[5/4]] from a different angle, with two mappings converging from opposite ends in [[665edo]]. The second name derives from comma's monzo, number 500 being D in roman numerals, and phonetic alphabet for D is "delta", to which "pi" is added to signify 314, the decimal expansion of pi. | The comma was named by [[Eliora]].
