| Interval information |
The ennealimma, meaning nine limmas, with monzo [1 -27 18⟩, is an unnoticeable 5-limit comma measuring about 0.862 cents. It is the amount by which a stack of nine large limmas falls short of the octave. In terms of commas, it is also the difference between the enneadeca and the schisma, and in the 7-limit between a stack of 4 ragismas and the breedsma.
Temperament
Tempering out this comma leads to the 5-limit version of the ennealimmal temperament, which remarkably splits the octave into nine equal parts.
Etymology
The name consists of Greek ennea- ("nine") + limma, coined by Paul Erlich and Gene Ward Smith in 2001[1].
