133.2376 cents
'''27/25''', called the '''large limma''' or '''acute minor second''', at 133.238 [[cent]]s, has the remarkable property of almost exactly equaling a singe step of [[9edo]], a step of which is 133 1/3 cents. Hence nine large limmas fall just short of an octave by the [[ennealimma]] (meaning "nine limmas") which is |1 -27 18>, a comma of less than a cent in size. If all of that were not enough, two large limmas are almost exactly a [[7/6|subminor third]], since (7/6)/(27/25)^2 = 4375/4374. Turning from microtempering to exotempering, [[27/25]] can be [[tempering_out|tempered out]], leading to [[Bug_family|bug temperament]], rather than the [[Ragismic_microtemperaments#Ennealimmal|ennealimmal temperament]] which tempering out both the ennealimma and 4375/4374, the [[ragisma]], leads to.

Coincidentally 27/25 is exactly three octaves below the ratio between 432hz and 50hz, common frequencies in tuning and AC electrical power respectively.
