'''589824/588245''', the '''hewuermera comma''', is a [[7-limit]] [[small comma]] measuring about 4.6 cents. It is the amount, by which a stack of six [[8/7]]s exceed [[20/9]]. Tempering it out leads to the [[hewuermera temperaments]]. The comma was named by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2021.
'''589824/588245''', the '''hewuermera comma''', is a [[7-limit]] [[small comma]] measuring about 4.6 cents. It is the amount by which a stack of six [[8/7]]s exceed [[20/9]]. It can also be expressed as the difference between three intervals of {{S|7}} = [[49/48]] and S4 = [[16/15]].
 
== Factorizations ==
As a generalized lopsided comma, 589824/588245 has the S-expression of (S46 = [[2116/2115]]) × (S47 = [[2209/2208]])<sup>2</sup> × (S48 = [[2304/2303]])<sup>3</sup>. Equivalent factorizations include (S48 = 2304/2303) × (S(47/2) = [[2209/2205]]) and (S46×S47×S48 = [[736/735]]) × (S47×S48 = [[1128/1127]]) × (S48 = 2304/2303).
 
The S-factorization indicates that 23 and 47 are particularly natural primes to incorporate into hewuermera temperaments (by tempering out S46, S47, and S48); in particular, three 8/7s reach a "[[half-comma meantone]] fifth" identified with [[70/47]][[~]][[94/63]].
 
== Temperaments ==
Tempering it out alone in the 7-limit leads to the '''hewuermera''' [[rank-3 temperament]], and in combination with another comma, to the [[hewuermera temperaments]], the most notable of which are [[hemiwürschmidt]] and [[mothra]]. For highest accuracy, this comma demands that 8/7 be tuned slightly flat, as it is in [[EDO]]s such as {{EDOs|26, 99, and 161}}.
 
== Etymology ==
The comma was named by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2021, from a combination of hemiwürschmidt and [[gamera]], two 7-limit temperaments that share this tempered comma.
