686/675, the senga or sengic comma, is a small 7-limit comma measuring about 28.0 cents. It pops up as the difference between 7/6 and a stack of two 15/14's, or the difference between 5/4 and a stack of three 15/14's. Besides, it is the difference between the septimal minor second, 28/27, and the jubilisma, 50/49.

It factors into simpler commas as (126/125)⋅(245/243), the stack of the two simplest commas to define the 7-limit sensi temperament. In the 2.3.5.7.13 subgroup, it factors into (91/90)⋅(196/195), which equals (169/168)⋅(196/195)² in turn, making it a lopsided comma with S-expression S13⋅S14².
