: I have a dumb idea. Why not call it the *pell comma* after the Pell sequence of numbers, whose convergent ratio gives the approximate ratio between an octave and a perfect fourth for the optimal tuning of the temperament?

:: I think referencing the Pell sequence makes way more sense for a member of the family of commas going 50/49, 289/288, 1682/1681, 9801/9800, etc. The only relation of Pell numbers to 5120/5103 is the edo sequence, which seems rather secondary. --[[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]] ([[User talk:Lériendil|talk]]) 22:42, 18 September 2025 (UTC) | |||
