Dividing the apotome (114 cents) into 3 equal parts gives 38 cents, and adding this to the pythagorean limma (90 cents) gives 128 cents, which is an approximation for [[14_13|14/13 ]](two-third tone, a favorite interval of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avicenna|Avicenna/Ibn Sina]]). | Dividing the apotome (114 cents) into 3 equal parts gives 38 cents, and adding this to the pythagorean limma (90 cents) gives 128 cents, which is an approximation for [[14_13|14/13]] (two-third tone, a favorite interval of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avicenna|Avicenna/Ibn Sina]]). | ||
