== Temperaments == | |||
The [[regular temperament|temperament]] which [[tempering out|tempers out]] only this comma is 5-limit [[ragismic microtemperaments #Chlorine|chlorine]]. The octave must be divisible by 17 in order to temper out this comma. Any edo such as [[311edo]], which is not a multiple of 17 cannot be tempering out this comma. | |||
== Etymology == | |||
This comma was once named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2001 in terms of the corresponding temperament, ''heptadecal'', for the temperament has 17 periods per octave<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_2121.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Shismic & co'']</ref>. The logical name for the comma would be ''heptadeca'', following ''[[enneadeca]]''. It was unclear how and why it was changed to ''septendecima'', the Latin equivalent. | |||
