82/81, or the 41-limit Johnston comma (HEJI), is a 2.3.41 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which 41/32 (the 41st harmonic) exceeds the Pythagorean major third (ditone) of 81/64, and differs from the syntonic comma (81/80) by 6561/6560. It is significant in Helmholtz-Ellis notation as the formal comma to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby 41-limit (prefix???) interval. It is the parent comma for the reversed meantone clan.
