The '''amity comma''' ({{monzo| 9 -13 5 }} = '''1600000/1594323''') 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> | The '''amity comma''' ({{monzo| 9 -13 5 }} = '''1600000/1594323''') 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)]].

Tempering it out leads to the [[amity family]] of temperaments. | ||
