== Temperaments == | |||
Tempering out this comma leads to the 5-limit [[kwazy]] temperament. | |||
== Etymology == | |||
This comma was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] and [[Paul Erlich]] in 2002 as a mutant form for both ''quasi'' and ''crazy'' (as in ''kwazy wabbit!'')<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_5041.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Paul's new names'']</ref>. ''Quasi'' was short for ''quasiseptima'' since an interval very close to [[9/7]] could be used as a generator for the corresponding temperament<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_5025.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''5-limit comma names'']</ref>. | |||
