The '''ennealimma''', meaning ''nine limmas'', with [[monzo]] {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }}, is a [[5-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] measuring about 0.86 [[cent]]s. It is the amount by which a stack of nine [[27/25|large limmas]] falls short of the [[octave]].

Tempering out this comma leads to the 5-limit version of the [[ennealimmal]] temperament, which remarkably splits the octave into nine equal parts.  
Tempering out this comma leads to the 5-limit version of the [[ennealimmal]] temperament, which remarkably splits the octave into nine equal parts. Since the [[7-limit]] temperament (definable by tempering out both [[2401/2400]] and [[4375/4374]], the two smallest superparticular ratios in the 7-limit) is far more natural to think of than the 5-limit, the 5-limit temperament is only provided below for bookkeeping purposes.
