The '''tridecapyth comma''' ({{Monzo|legend=1| 28 -20 0 0 0 1 }}, [[ratio]]: 3489660928/3486784401) is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[13-limit]] [[comma]] which measures roughly 1.43 [[cent]]s. It is the interval by which [[13/8]] exceeds a stack of twenty [[3/2|perfect fifths (3/2)]] octave reduced, and by which [[16/13]] falls short of a stack of four [[256/243|Pythagorean limmas (256/243)]]. It is perhaps more easily conceptualized as reaching [[13/4]] through ([[9/8]])<sup>10</sup>. In terms of commas, it is the amount by which [[1053/1024|tridecimal quartertone (1053/1024)]] is greater than a stack of two [[Pythagorean comma]]s.
