'''364/363''', the '''gentle comma''', is a [[13-limit]] no-5 [[~~small~~ comma]] measuring about 4.8{{cent}}. It is the amount by which an undecimal major third [[14/11]] and a tridecimal minor third [[13/11]] exceed a just perfect fifth [[3/2]].

'''364/363''', the '''minor minthma''' or '''minor gentle comma''', is a [[small comma|small]] [[13-limit]] no-5 [[comma]] measuring about 4.8{{cent}}. It is the amount by which an undecimal major third [[14/11]] and a tridecimal minor third [[13/11]] exceed a just perfect fifth [[3/2]].

It factors into the following superparticular pairs:

* ([[385/384]])([[6656/6655]])

* [[385/384]] and [[6656/6655]]

* ([[441/440]])([[2080/2079]])

* [[441/440]] and [[2080/2079]]

Not to mention some nonsuperparticular but useful relations:

* ([[676/675]])([[1575/1573]])

* [[676/675]] and [[1575/1573]]

== Temperaments ==

Tempering out ~~the gentle~~ comma leads to a form of '''~~gentle~~ temperament''' and ~~enables~~ [[gentle ~~chords~~]].

Tempering out this comma leads to a form of '''minor minthmic temperament''' (full 13-limit rank-5) or '''minorminth temperament''' (2.3.7.11.13 subgroup rank-4), which enables [[minor minthmic chords]].

== History and etymology ==

This comma was known as the ''gentle comma'' from 2011. In 2022, [[Margo Schulter]] requested it should be changed to ''minor''/''lesser gentle comma'' to distinguish it from [[352/351]], which would gain the name ''major''/''greater gentle comma''.

The ''minor minthma'' was also added to this comma in contrast to the ''major minthma'' of 352/351. Both commas were essential to define the [[gentle]] temperament. Gentle was named for the [[gentle region|gentle fifth]], a mild version of the [[superpyth]] fifth.
