	The '''amity comma'''~~, 1600000/1594323 =~~ {{monzo\| 9 -13 5 }}, is an interval of 6.154 cents, the amount by which five [[10/9\|minor whole tones (10/9)]] exceed the [[27/16\|Pythagorean major sixth (27/16)]]. It belongs to the [[syntonic-chromatic equivalence continuum]] and is equal to the difference between an [[apotome]] and a stack of five [[syntonic comma]]s ((2187/2048)/(81/80)<sup>3</sup>), or in terms of classic chromatic semitone, between a classic chromatic semitone and a stack of three syntonic commas ((25/24)/(81/80)<sup>3</sup>). Tempering it out leads to the [[amity family]] of temperaments.
