45/44, ~38.906 cents, the undecimal 1/5-tone, is the interval between 11/9 and 5/4, and also between 11/10 and 9/8. It is tempered out by the patent vals for 12, 19, and 26 equal.
45/44 is also known as the "cake" comma, from when Ocean Stegosaurus Tardigrade was baking a cake and misread flour and sugar measurements on his scale, leading to the inclusion of 11/9 times the amount suggested in his recipe. To compensate, he writes "I increased all the other ingredients by a neutral third, except the eggs, which I increased by a major third because I couldn't be bothered to measure out eight ninths of an egg." We see here the equating of 11/9 with 5/4, leading to the tempering out of 45/44. The cake turned out fine but slightly burnt on the top.
