2nd, Lutritriyo comma
1953125/1948617, the 4-cent comma, is an 11-limit small comma almost exactly 4 cents in size. It is the difference between a stack of nine 6/5 minor thirds (octave-reduced) and a 128/99 paraminor fourth.
Temperament
Tempering out this comma in the 3.5.11 subgroup results in a rank-2 temperament. In 2026 this temperament was named Delta Centauri by CompactStar, named after the star. This in the keeping with the star theming of other no-2s subgroup temperaments, and is a slight reference to "4-cent" since delta is the 4th letter of the Greek alphabet.
