Pythagorean kleisma,
Pythagorean inverse double-diminished second
reduced harmonic
The 19-comma, otherwise known as the Pythagorean kleisma (monzo: [-30 19⟩, ratio: 1162261467/1073741824), is an interval of about 137.1 ¢. It is the amount by which nineteen perfect fifths exceed eleven octaves, or (3/2)19/211. If used as an interval in its own right, it is the Pythagorean inverse double-diminished second.
Terminology
The term Pythagorean kleisma seems to be first used by Flora Canou in 2024, for this is the moskleisma of the Pythagorean diatonic scale, where kleisma (adjective: kleismic) refers to the inverse double-diminished 1-step i.e. |2L - 3s|. It is equated with the 5-limit kleisma of 15625/15552 along with many other intervals in meantone.
