The '''semicomma''' or '''Fokker's comma''' ([[ratio]]: 2109375/2097152, [[monzo]]: {{monzo| -21 3 7 }}), is an interval of 10.061 [[cent]]s which is the amount by which three classic augmented second intervals of [[75/64]] exceed [[8/5]]. That means (75/64)<sup>3</sup>/(8/5), which can also be written ((9/8)(25/24))<sup>3</sup>/(8/5). In terms of commas, it factors into simpler commas as ([[15625/15552]])([[32805/32768]]), the kleisma and the schisma. Tempering it out leads to [[orson]] temperament.

Most notably, it is tempered out in [[31edo]] as the difference between the 31-comma ({{nowrap|3<sup>31</sup>/2<sup>49</sup>}}) and seven syntonic commas ([[81/80]]).
