217/216, the tricesimoprimal kleisma, is a small 31-limit (also 2.3.7.31-subgroup) comma measuring almost exactly 8 cents. It is the difference between 9/7 and 31/24, two intervals that commonly represent sharp supermajor/flat ultramajor thirds; as well as the difference of 8/7 from 31/27 (a good approximation of 1\5), and the difference of 28/27 from 32/31.
Etymology
This comma is known as the tricesimoprimal kleisma due to its proximity (differing only by 15625/15624) to the classical kleisma, 15625/15552 and to other commas sometimes referred to as "kleismas", such as 1029/1024 (differing by 3969/3968) and 225/224 (differing by 6076/6075).
