81/50, the classical acute minor sixth or diptolemaic minor sixth, is a syntonic comma sharp of 8/5. It can be obtained by stacking two classic minor sevenths (9/5) and subtracting an octave, or subtracting two small whole tones (10/9) from an octave.

In the 13-limit, it is a marveltwin comma (325/324) flat of 13/8, and in the 17-limit, merely a palingenetic comma (1701/1700) sharp of the interval 34/21.
