'''175/144''', the '''avicennmic minor third''', is a [[7-limit]] interval that exceeds the [[32/27|Pythagorean minor third]] by an [[525/512|avicennma]]. It functions as a ''major'' third, being a [[81/64|Pythagorean major third]] flattened by two [[syntonic comma]]s and a [[septimal comma]], which is further evidenced by the fact that it equals a stack of a [[7/6]] septimal minor third and a [[25/24]] classical chromatic semitone.   
'''175/144''', the '''avicennmic minor third''', is a [[7-limit]] interval that exceeds the [[32/27|Pythagorean minor third]] by an [[525/512|avicennma]]. It is more likely to function as a ''major'' third in [[just intonation]], being a [[81/64|Pythagorean major third]] flattened by two [[syntonic comma]]s and a [[septimal comma]]. This function is further evidenced by the fact that it equals a stack of a [[7/6]] septimal minor third and a [[25/24]] classical chromatic semitone.
