Its name comes from two of the main ways of conceptualizing it. Firstly, it is the amount by which a stack of three [[1024/891]] inframinor thirds falls short of a [[243/160]] lamb fifth, hence the first part of the comma's name – from the Latin ''tri-'' prefix plus the Latin word [[Wiktionary: agnus #Latin|''agnus'']], with the linking ''-o-'' replacing the ending of "agnus".  Secondly, it is the amount by which a stack of three [[8192/8019]] inframinor seconds falls short of a [[16/15]] minor second, which, since both of these intervals are types of second in diatonic-based interval naming schemes, leads to the second part of the comma's name – from the Hebrew word [[Wiktionary: שני #Hebrew|''shení'']], meaning "second".

In terms of commas it can be thought of as the amount by which a stack of two [[schisma]]s exceeds the [[wizardharry comma]].  It is also the sum of the [[parimo]] and the [[frameshift comma]].
In terms of comma relations, it can be thought of as the amount by which a stack of two [[schisma]]s exceeds the [[wizardharry comma]].  It is also the sum of the [[parimo]] and the [[frameshift comma]].


Although this comma is unnoticeable, it is tempered out in [[EDO]]s such as [[29edo]], [[65edo]], [[99edo]] and [[159edo]].
Although this comma is unnoticeable, it is tempered out despite the poor quality of the 11-prime in [[29edo]] and [[99edo]].  For reasonable-sized [[EDO]]s that temper out this comma with better results, see [[65edo]] and [[159edo]], or, if you're slightly more adventurous, [[224edo]].
