The '''glacier comma''' is a [[13-limit]] comma which is the difference between five small tridecimal neutral seconds of [[13/12]] and a perfect fifth ([[3/2]]).
The '''glacier comma''' is a [[13-limit]] comma which is the difference between five small tridecimal neutral seconds of [[13/12]] and a perfect fifth ([[3/2]]). It is a quintic-particular interval, that is, of the form ((''n''+5)/''n'') / ((''n''+3)/(''n''+2))<sup>5</sup> = (S(''n''+1)×S(''n''+2)<sup>2</sup>) / (S(''n''+3)<sup>2</sup>×S(''n''+4)).
