The interval '''648/625''' is known as the '''diminished [[Comma|comma]]''' or '''major diesis'''. It is the amount by which four [[6/5]] minor thirds exceed an [[2/1|octave]], in other words (6/5)<sup>4</sup> / 2. This is approximately one step of [[19edo]], which is the amount by which four 19edo minor thirds exceed an octave. Tempering it out leads to [[5-limit]] [[Diminished|diminished temperament]].
