+'''1162261467/1048576000''', the '''nadir comma''', generates the [[nadir]] temperament.
+It has a melodic shape similar to [[porcupine]] or [[Meantone_family#Trimean|trimean]], with a neutral second generator close to [[11/10]], three of which approximate [[4/3]].
+However, the best approximation to the 5th harmonic is both more complex and causes more damage to the other intervals, leaving it unused for actual composition so far.
+It is the furthest 5-limit temperament on the [[Syntonic&ndash;chromatic equivalence continuum]] that has patent vals other than [[7edo]], hence the name nadir.
+It was named by [[user:CompactStar|CompactStar]].
