The ennealimma, meaning nine limmas, with monzo [1 -27 18⟩, is an unnoticeable 5-limit comma measuring about 0.862 cents. It is the amount by which a stack of nine large limmas falls short of the octave. In terms of commas, it is also the difference between the enneadeca and the schisma.
Temperament
Tempering out this comma leads to the 5-limit version of the ennealimmal temperament, which remarkably splits the octave into nine equal parts.
Etymology
The name consists of Greek ennea- ("nine") + limma, coined by Paul Erlich and Gene Ward Smith in 2001[1].
