'''1089/1024''', the '''parapotome''', also known as the '''Alpharabian chromatic semitone''', is the interval that results from stacking two [[33/32]] quartertones together, and has a value of roughly 106.54589 [[cent|cents]].

The term "parapotome" is a derivation from the word "apotome" by means of the prefix "para-", and was coined in reference to this interval's functional resemblances to the more well-known [[2187/2048]]. Because of its complexity and its relative obscurity, the parapotome is often equated to other nearby intervals through the tempering out of commas like [[243/242]] and or [[1089/1088]]. When this interval is added together with [[128/121]], the result is a [[9/8]] whole tone. | ||
