3-limit intervals in the range of minor thirds include the '''Pythagorean minor third''' of [[32/27]], 294.1{{c}} in size, which corresponds to the mos-based interval category of the diatonic minor third and is generated by [[stacking]] three just perfect fourths of [[4/3]], and the '''Pythagorean augmented second''' of [[19683/16384]], which is sharp of 32/27 by one Pythagorean comma, and is about 318{{c}} in size.
