| This interval can be interpreted as a type of second on the basis of it approximating the sum of the syntonic comma and the Pythagorean Major Second; it also appears in approximations of 5-limit Neapolitan scales as the interval formed from stacking two Ptolemaic Minor Seconds, making it double as a type of diminished third, and is likely the smallest interval in this system that can be used in chords without causing crowding.
