'''13/8''' is the '''(lesser) tridecimal neutral sixth''', which measures about 840.5¢, falling between the categories of minor sixth and major sixth. In [[13-limit]] [[just intonation]], 13/8, as an octave-reduced 13th harmonic, is treated as a basic component of harmony. In the harmonic series and in chords based on it, 13/8 sits between the more familiar consonances of [[3/2]] and [[7/4]], separated from each by the [[superparticular]] ratios [[13/12]] and [[14/13]], respectively. The word "lesser" is added when necessary to differentiate it from [[64/39]], another tridecimal neutral sixth.

It may also be treated as a type of augmented fifth, as the sum of [[5/4]] and [[13/10]].

13/8 differs from the Pythagorean minor sixth [[128/81]] by [[1053/1024]], about 48¢, from the classic minor sixth [[8/5]] by [[65/64]], about 27¢, from the undecimal neutral sixth [[18/11]] by [[144/143]], about 12¢, and from the rastmic neutral sixth [[44/27]] by [[352/351]], about 4.9¢.
