The '''septendecimal wholetones comma''', or '''ursulisma''', is a [[17-limit]] (also 2.3.5.11.17 [[subgroup]]) [[superparticular]] [[comma]] with a [[ratio]] of '''375/374'''. It is the interval that separates [[17/15]] from [[25/22]], as well as separating [[25/17]] from [[22/15]].
The '''ursulisma''' is a [[17-limit]] (also 2.3.5.11.17 [[subgroup]]) [[superparticular]] [[comma]] with a [[ratio]] of '''375/374'''. It is the interval that separates [[17/15]] from [[25/22]], as well as separating [[25/17]] from [[22/15]]. It has also been described as the ''septendecimal wholetones comma'' (though the whole tones it separates are not septendecimal as one of them is not [[Harmonic class|HC17]] and the other is not of the 2.3.17 subgroup).

== Etymology ==
The ursulisma was named by [[Aura]] and [[User:VIxen|VIxen]] in 2023. It refers to [[Wikipedia: 375 Ursula|375 Ursula]], the asteroid. After some naming attempts in the XA Discord Server that tuned out dissatisfactory to the participants, VIxen came up with the idea to look up the [[Wikipedia: List of minor planets|list of minor planets]] in case everything else failed. And Aura was the first to put together the word ''ursulisma''.
