In [[17-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''51/40''' is the '''septendecimal major third'''.  Although technically a type of supermajor third, there's already a septendecimal supermajor third in the form of [[22/17]], while 51/40 itself is the [[fifth complement]] of [[20/17]]- the septendecimal minor third.
In [[17-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''51/40''' is the '''diatismic major third'''.  It exceeds the [[81/64|Pythagorean major third (81/64)]] by a [[136/135|diatisma (136/135)]], hence the name.
