16807/16384, the cloudy comma, or systematically the 5-7-comma, is a medium comma in the 7-limit with a size of about 44.1 cents. It is the amount by which five 8/7's fall short of an octave. In the 2.5.7 subgroup, it exceeds 128/125 by the rainy comma.

Temperaments

Tempering out this comma splits the octave into 5 equal parts and maps the harmonic seventh to 4\5. For equal divisions N up to 65, the comma is tempered out if and only if 5 divides N. Examples are 5edo, 10edo, 15edo, 50edo, 55edo and 65edo. Rank-2 temperaments tempering it out include blackwood, coblack, cloudtone, sengasec, warlock, pentacloud, decic, pentadecal, and quinkee.

The cloudy rank-3 temperament can be described as the 10 & 15 & 50 temperament, which can be extended to the 11-limit by tempering out 385/384 and 3087/3025, and the 13-limit by tempering out 105/104, 144/143, and 4459/4400.
