'''27/25''', called the '''large limma''' or '''acute minor second''', at 133.238 [[cent]]s, has the remarkable property of almost exactly equaling a single step of [[9edo]], a step of which is 133 1/3 cents. Hence, nine large limmas fall just short of an octave by the [[~~ennealimmal~~]] ~~(meaning "nine limmas")~~ which is |1 -27 18~~>~~, a comma of less than a cent in size. If all of that were not enough, two large limmas are almost exactly a [[7/6|subminor third]], since (7/6)/(27/25)^2 = 4375/4374. Turning from microtempering to exotempering, 27/25 can be [[~~tempering_out~~|tempered out]], leading to [[~~Bug_family|~~bug ~~temperament~~]]~~, rather than the [[Ragismic_microtemperaments#Ennealimmal|ennealimmal temperament]] which tempering out both the ennealimma and 4375/4374, the [[4375/4374|ragisma]], leads to~~.

'''27/25''', called the '''large limma''' or '''acute minor second''', at 133.238 [[cent]]s is a large semitone interval which is a [[81/80|syntonic comma]] above the 5-limit minor second [[16/15]], or 2 syntonic commas above the Pythagorean minor second [[256/243]]. It has the remarkable property of almost exactly equaling a single step of [[9edo]], a step of which is 133 1/3 cents. Hence, nine large limmas fall just short of an octave by the [[ennealimma]] which is {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }}, a comma of less than a cent in size. If all of that were not enough, two large limmas are almost exactly a [[7/6|subminor third]], since (7/6)/(27/25)<sup>2</sup> = [[4375/4374]]. Tempering out both the ennealimma and [[4375/4374]], the ragisma, leads to the [[Ragismic microtemperaments #Ennealimmal|ennealimmal temperament]]. Ennealimmal is an extremely accurate temperament, while still being of a somewhat manageable complexity. Turning from microtempering to exotempering, 27/25 can be [[tempering out|tempered out]], leading to the [[bug family]] of temperaments.

~~Coincidentally, 27/25 is exactly three octaves below the ratio between 432hz and 50hz, common frequencies in tuning and AC electrical power respectively.~~
