An hypothesis is that "jacobin" refers to the {{w|Jacobins}}, a political group founded in 1789 during the French Revolution, since this comma is tempered out by [[1789edo]], a tuning which, furthermore, is [[consistent]] to distance 2 in the 2.5.11.13-subgroup-limited [[13-odd-limit]], reinforcing the importance of this comma in this tuning.
