The **syntonic** or **Didymus comma** (frequency ratio **81/80**) is the smallest [[superparticular|superparticular interval]] which belongs to the [[5-limit]]. Like [[16_15|16/15]], [[625_624|625/624]], [[2401_2400|2401/2400]] and [[4096_4095|4096/4095]] it has a fourth power as a numerator. Fourth powers are squares, and any comma with a square numerator is the ratio between two larger successive superparticular intervals; it is in fact the difference between [[10_9|10/9]] and [[9_8|9/8]], the product of which is the just major third, [[5_4|5/4]]. That the numerator is a fourth power entails that the larger of these two intervals itself has a square numerator; 9/8 is the interval between the successive superparticulars 4/3 and 3/2. [[55edo]] tempers it out, while [[15edo]] does not.
