'''15625/15552''', which is sometimes called the '''kleisma''', is the [[small comma|small]] [[5-limit]] [[comma]] that separates a stack of six classic minor thirds of [[6/5]] with [[3/1]], and is also the difference between the classic chromatic semitone ([[25/24]]) and the greater diesis ([[648/625]]). Like the [[magic comma]], instead of being tempered out in [[12edo]], it is inflated to an entire semitone—six 6/5's make an augmented eleventh (18 steps), while 3/1 is a perfect tweltfth (19 steps); conversely, 25/24 is mapped to a semitone while 648/625 is tempered out. Its [[square superparticular #Glossary|S-expression]] of S25<sup>2</sup> × S26 directly implies that it is expressible as ([[25/24]])<sup>2</sup>/([[27/25]]).
