The '''amity comma''' or '''amiton''' ({{monzo|legend=1| 9 -13 5 }}, [[ratio]]: 1600000/1594323) is a [[small comma|small]] [[5-limit]] [[comma]] of 6. | The '''amity comma''' or '''amiton''' ({{monzo|legend=1| 9 -13 5 }}, [[ratio]]: 1600000/1594323) is a [[small comma|small]] [[5-limit]] [[comma]] of 6.15 [[cent]]s, the amount by which five [[10/9|minor whole tones (10/9)]] exceed the [[27/16|Pythagorean major sixth (27/16)]]. It belongs to the [[syntonic–chromatic equivalence continuum]] and is equal to the difference between a [[Pythagorean apotome]] and a stack of five [[syntonic comma]]s ((2187/2048)/(81/80)<sup>5</sup>), or in terms of classic chromatic semitone, between a classic chromatic semitone and a stack of three syntonic commas ((25/24)/(81/80)<sup>3</sup>). | ||
