The 5-limit interval 135/128, about 92.2 cents in size, is called the ptolemaic chromatic semitone, the major limma or the major chroma. It is a syntonic comma away from the Pythagorean chromatic semitone 2187/2048, and so is tuned justly in 1/7-comma meantone. Flattening by another syntonic comma reaches the even simpler 25/24. In regular 5-limit diatonic systems, it is the chromatic semitone that compliments 16/15, as the two semitones add up to 9/8.
Temperaments
If 135/128 is treated as a comma to be tempered out, it may be called the mavila comma. It represents the difference between three perfect fourths and a just major third (plus an octave), or the difference between 9/8 and 16/15. Tempering it out results in the mavila temperament.
135/128 is very close to one step of 13edo, in fact being a semiconvergent. Aluminium temperament realizes this through a regular temperament lens.
