Since the [[7-limit]] temperament (definable by tempering out both [[2401/2400]] and [[4375/4374]], the two smallest superparticular ratios in the 7-limit) is far more natural to think of than the 5-limit, the 5-limit temperament is only provided below for bookkeeping purposes.

The ennealimma, meaning nine limmas, with monzo [1 -27 18, is an unnoticeable 5-limit comma measuring about 0.862 cents. It is the amount by which a stack of nine large limmas falls short of the octave.

Temperament

Tempering out this comma leads to the 5-limit version of the ennealimmal temperament, which remarkably splits the octave into nine equal parts.

Etymology

The name consists of Greek ennea- ("nine") + limma, coined by Paul Erlich and Gene Ward Smith in 2001[1].
