Fourth powers are squares, and any comma with a square numerator is the ratio between two larger successive superparticular intervals; it is in fact the difference between [[10_9|10/9]] and [[9_8|9/8]], the product of which is the just major third, [[5_4|5/4]]. That the numerator is a fourth power entails that the larger of these two intervals itself has a square numerator; 9/8 is the interval between the successive superparticulars 4/3 and 3/2. Tempering it out gives a tuning for the whole tone which is intermediate between 10/9 and 9/8, and leads to [[Meantone family|meantone temperament]].
