The '''septendecima''' ([[monzo]]: {{monzo| -52 -17 34 }}) is a [[5-limit]] [[~~unnoticeable~~ comma]]. It ~~represents~~ the difference between a stack of seventeen [[25/24]] ~~intervals~~ and one ~~octave, and tempering it out means that~~ [[25/~~24 equal-step tuning]] is equated with [[17edo]].

This comma was once named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2001 in terms of the corresponding temperament, ''heptadecal'', for the temperament has 17 periods per octave<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_2121.html Yahoo!

It was unclear how and why it was changed to ''septendecima'', the Latin equivalent.
