1815/1792, the guerrisma, is an 11-limit comma that is much like the larger inverse of the absinthma, from which it differs by the Alpharabian comma. While tempering out the absinthma sets 11/8 to exactly halfway between 4/3 and 10/7, tempering out the guerrisma sets it to halfway between 4/3 and 7/5 instead. As such, the two commas sum to 50/49.

The guerrisma is extremely close to 81/80, exceeding it only by a lehmerisma (3025/3024).

It is tempered out in such notable edos as 22, 31 and 53, as well as the still fairly significant 26 and 29, as well as in a whole panoply of rank-2 temperaments, chief among which is orwell, but there are many others like mothra, tritonic and suprapyth.

Etymology

This comma was named by Jerdle in 2025, after guerre, the French word for war. This is based on the ratio, as 1792-1815 was a period of many wars involving France, with the Revolutionary Wars followed immediately by the Napoleonic Wars.
