Interval information
Name crawma
Color name 19u17o43u32, nuquadso-atrithu 2nd,
Nuquadso-atrithu comma

Crawma, known as the crawma, is a 19-limit (more precisely, 2.17/13.19/13 subgroup) unnoticeable comma. It forms the difference between a stack of four 17/13's and a stack of one octave and one 19/13.

Temperaments

Tempering out this comma in the 19-limit leads to the rank-7 crawmic temperament, or in the 2.17/13.19/13 subgroup, the rank-2 crawic temperament generated by a tempered 17/13.

Terminology

The name crawma was proposed by ground fault, at the request of Inthar for a more distinctive-sounding crow-related name for the comma than "cawma". The word craw has an archaic sense 'to caw, to croak, to crow'.
