:::::::: Hmm, since the "-us" in "nexus" is not part of the stem in Latin, would "nexisma" be a good replacement for "nexuma"? --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 21:58, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

== 625/624 ==

Hey, Flora, I was just telling Xenwolf about how I found another comma that seems to need a name- [[625/624]]. This comma seems to be like the liganellus comma in that it binds well-known temperaments together- in this case, Catakleismic, Tritikleismic, Quadritikleismic, Octoid, Benediction, Sqrtphi, Ekadash, Countercata, Widefourth, Portentious, Yajna, Enlil, Hanuman, Marvel and Agni. Since this comma seems to be used so much, so on one hand, I could see the name reflecting its usage in extensions. On the other hand, I do see that tempering out this comma not only equates [[25/24]] with [[26/25]], splitting [[13/12]] in half and going part of the way towards splitting the [[9/8]] whole tone into three (the other comma needing to be tempered in order to finish the job being 676/675), but also equates [[39/32]] with the interval that results from stacking four [[5/4]] major thirds then octave-reducing. With all this in mind, perhaps we should call this comma the "vinctrias comma". Any thoughts? --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 23:34, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Never mind, it Looks like 625/624 is already called the "tunbarsma". Talk about an embarassing case of "open mouth and insert foot". I still like the name "vinctrias" though, so perhaps that name can be given to the temperament that tempers out 625/624 and 676/675. Sorry about this disaster of a thread. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 23:58, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
