32/31 is the small tricesimoprimal quartertone measuring about 55 ¢. It differs from 33/32, the undecimal quartertone, by 1024/1023 (approx. 1.69 ¢). It differs from 31/30, another tricesimoprimal quartertone, by 961/960 (approx. 1.80 ¢); they together make 16/15.

This interval is significant in Helmholtz-Ellis notation as the formal comma to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby tricesimoprimal (31-limit) interval. The symbols being used are virtually identical to Persian quartertones accidentals invented by Ali-Naqi Vaziri.
