294/289, the nordic comma or the septendecimal supraminor third comma, is a small 7-limit (also 2.3.7.17-subgroup) comma with a value of roughly 29.7 cents. It is significant in just intonation as the amount by which a stack of two 17/14 neutral thirds fall short of 3/2 just perfect fifth.

Temperaments

Tempering out this comma in the full 17-limit leads to the nordic rank-6 temperament.
