Temperaments

Tempering out this comma gives the highly accurate rank-4 seascape temperament, which splits the perfect fourth, 4/3, into two intervals of 231/200.

Etymology

This comma was named by Tristan Bay in 2024, from the typical base-10 fractional representation of this interval bearing a striking resemblance of that of the landscape comma, 250047/250000, while only adding 11 to the mix of prime factors, and being of a relatively similar size.
