99/98, or the mothwellsma, is a small 11-limit comma of 17.6 cents in size. It represents the difference between the 9/7 and 14/11 supermajor thirds, or the difference between two 7/6 subminor thirds and one 11/8 semi-augmented fourth. Note that 11/8 = (7/6)2(99/98) and that (7/6)⋅(99/98) = 33/28, which is the fifth complement of 14/11.
Temperaments
Tempering out this comma alone in the 11-limit leads to the rank-4 mothwellsmic temperament (→ Catalog of rank-4 temperaments #Mothwellsmic (99/98)), or in the 2.3.7.11 subgroup, the rank-3 mothwell temperament, enabling mothwellsmic chords. It is related to 11-limit orwell, as a generator between 7/6 and (11/8)1/2 is befitting of orwell.
Etymology
This comma's name comes from a contraction of mothra and orwell, two of the rank-2 temperaments that temper out the comma.
