'''78732/78125~~''' =~~ {{~~Monzo~~| 2 9 -7 }}, the '''~~sensipent comma~~''' ~~or medium semicomma~~, is ~~an interval~~ of 13.~~399~~ [[cent]]s ~~which~~ is the amount by which ~~the difference between~~ seven minor thirds ~~and~~ two ~~fourths~~ [[~~octave reduction~~|~~exceeds~~ an octave]], in other words ~~<code style="white-space: nowrap;">~~(6/5)^7 / (4/3)^2 / 2</~~code~~>. Tempering it out leads to [[~~Sensipent_family#Sensipent|~~sensipent temperament]].

The '''sensipent comma''' ([[ratio]]: 78732/78125, {{monzo|legend=1| 2 9 -7 }}), also known as the '''medium semicomma''', is [[small comma|small]] [[5-limit]] [[comma]] of about 13.4 [[cent]]s. It is the amount by which a stack of seven [[6/5|classical minor thirds]] exceeds two [[4/3|perfect fourths]] and an [[octave]], in other words ([[6/5]])7/(([[4/3]])2×[[2/1|2]]). Equivalently, it is also equal to ([[6/5]])5/(([[10/9]])2×[[2/1|2]]). It is also the difference between [[5/4]] and a stack of three [[27/25]] large limmas.

[[Tempering out]] this comma in the 5-limit leads to the [[sensipent]] temperament.
