Original Wikitext content:
The starling comma or septimal semicomma, 126/125, is the only superparticular 7-limit comma which is not the difference between two 7 (or 9) limit consonances. Instead, it is the amount by which [[12_7|12/7]] falls short of three [[6_5|6/5]] minor thirds. Tempering it out leads to [[Starling temperaments#Starling comma|starling temperament]], and three minor thirds plus a [[7_6|7/6]] subminor third, when 126/125 is tempered out, gives the [[starling tetrad]] or septimal semicomma diminished seventh chord.
