The lesser tendoneutralisma is a small comma of the 2.3.13 subgroup which is the amount by which a stack of twelve 16/13's minus three octaves exceeds 3/2; that is, it is equal to (16/13)¹² / (3/2) / (2/1)³ and so equivalently also to 16/13)¹¹ / (39/4). Because the ~11 ¢ of error is distributed over twelve 16/13's in the pure-3's tuning, it is a very accurate way of connecting a chain of 13's to prime 3. A slightly less accurate but still good way of doing this is using the greater tendoneutralisma.

Temperaments

Lesser Tendoneutralic

Tempering the lesser tendoneutralisma in 2.3.13 leads to the highly notable 10 & 77 temperament, where 10edo is the trivial tuning approximately equal to the pure-13's tuning and 77edo can be used to approximate the pure-3's tuning, although 67edo is an interesting choice for combining this temperament with meantone and perhaps more notably 87edo is a very good choice for combining this temperament with parapyth and 13-limit harmony generally (although it doesn't appear in the optimal ET sequence).
