'''589824/588245''', the '''hewuermera comma''', is a [[7-limit]] [[small comma]] measuring about 4.6 cents. It is the amount by which a stack of six [[8/7]]s exceed [[20/9]]. It can also be expressed as the difference between three intervals of {{S|7}} = [[49/48]] and S4 = [[16/15]].

Tempering it out alone in the 7-limit leads to the '''hewuermera''' [[rank-3 temperament]], and in combination with another comma, to the [[hewuermera temperaments]], the most notable of which are [[hemiwürschmidt]] and [[mothra]]. For highest accuracy, this comma demands that 8/7 be tuned slightly flat, as it is in [[EDO]]s such as {{EDOs|26, 99, and 161}}.
