The 5-limit interval 135/128, about 92.2 cents in size, is called the ptolemaic chromatic semitone, major limma or major chroma. It is a syntonic comma away from the Pythagorean chromatic semitone 2187/2048, and so is tuned justly in 1/7 comma meantone. Flattening by another syntonic comma reaches the even simpler 25/24.

As a comma, it is known as the pelogic comma, and it represents the difference between three perfect fourths and a just major third (plus an octave).
