'''13/8''' is the '''lesser tridecimal neutral sixth''', which measures about 840.5¢, falling between the categories of minor sixth and major sixth. In [[13-limit]] [[Just intonation]], 13/8, as an octave-reduced 13th harmonic, is treated as a basic component of harmony. In the harmonic series and in chords based on it, 13/8 sits between the more familiar consonances of [[3/2]] and [[7/4]], separated from each by the [[superparticular]] ratios [[13/12]] and [[14/13]], respectively. It differs from the [[11-limit]] neutral sixth [[18/11]] by [[144/143]], about 12.1¢.  It is called the "lesser tridecimal neutral sixth" in order to differentiate it from [[64/39]], another tridecimal neutral sixth.

13/8 is the (lesser) tridecimal neutral sixth, which measures about 840.5¢, falling between the categories of minor sixth and major sixth. In 13-limit Just intonation, 13/8, as an octave-reduced 13th harmonic, is treated as a basic component of harmony. In the harmonic series and in chords based on it, 13/8 sits between the more familiar consonances of 3/2 and 7/4, separated from each by the superparticular ratios 13/12 and 14/13, respectively. The word "lesser" is added when necessary to differentiate it from 64/39, another tridecimal neutral sixth.

13/8 differs from the Pythagorean minor sixth 128/81 by 1053/1024, about 48¢, from the classic minor sixth 8/5 by 65/64, about 27¢, from the undecimal neutral sixth 18/11 by 144/143, about 12¢, and from the rastmic neutral sixth 44/27 by 352/351, about 4.9¢.

13/8 is a fraction of a cent away from the neutral third found in the 10n family of edos.
