When this ratio is taken as a [[comma]] to be [[tempering out|tempered out]], it produces [[father]] temperament, and lends itself the name '''father comma'''. In this [[exotemperament]], 4/3 and 5/4 are equated, and major thirds and fifths become [[octave complement]]s of each other. It is a [[Mersenne comma]]. | When this ratio is taken as a [[comma]] to be [[tempering out|tempered out]], it produces [[father]] temperament, and lends itself the name '''father comma'''.
