'''128/121''', the '''~~Alpharabian~~ limma''', otherwise known as both the '''~~Alpharabian~~ diatonic semitone''' and the '''octave-reduced 121st subharmonic''', is an [[11-limit]] semitone with a value of roughly 97.4 cents. As the name "Alpharabian diatonic semitone" suggests, it acts as the diatonic counterpart to the [[1089/1024]], with the two intervals adding up to a [[9/8]] whole tone. Furthermore its status as a diatonic semitone can be verified by the fact that just as a diatonic semitone and a chromatic semitone add up to make a whole tone, a similar pairing of quartertones- namely [[4096/3993]] and [[33/32]]- add up to 128/121. By tempering [[243/242]], the Alpharabian limma can be made equal to the Pythagorean limma, allowing an 11-limit extension to standard pythagorean tuning.
