120/119
120/119, the lynchisma, is a small 17-limit superparticular comma of about 14.49 cents. It is the difference between 20/17 and 7/6, 17/10 and 12/7, or 30/17 and 7/4.

Temperaments
Tempering out this comma in the 17-limit leads to the rank-6 lynchismic temperament. In the 2.3.5.7.17 subgroup, tempering it out results in the rank-4 lynchic temperament. In either case, it allows you to assign 10:12:15:17 as the inverse of 4:5:6:7, an otonal chord that would otherwise be 70:84:105:120. William Lynch calls this the minor tetrad, and so equating it with the inverse of the major tetrad is quite useful.
Since 120/119 factors as (225/224)⋅(256/255), it would make sense to temper them both out, so lynchic can be further tempered to a simple extension of marvel that adds prime 17 known as char, though it loses accuracy when compared to marvel.
