The '''triwellisma''' is a [[small comma|small]] [[7-limit]] [[comma]] measuring about 6.8 [[cent]]s. It has the [[monzo]] {{monzo| 1 -1 -7 6 }} and the ratio 235298/234375. It is the amount by which a stack of six [[7/5]]'s [[octave reduction|octave reduced]] exceeds [[15/8]], or by which a stack of seven 7/5's octave reduced exceeds 21/16. Note that two 7/5's make [[49/25]], which is short of the octave by [[50/49]], so in other words, this comma is the difference between [[16/15]] and a stack of three 50/49's.
