221/220, the minor naiadma, is a small 17-limit superparticular comma about 7.9 cents in size. It forms the difference between 13/10 (tridecimal semisixth) and 22/17 (small septendecimal semisixth). It is also the amount by which a stack consisting of 13/10 and 17/10 exceeds 11/5 (11/10 plus an octave). The name minor naiadma is contrast to the major naiadma, 170/169, measuring about 10.2¢, which is the difference between 13/10 and 17/13 (large septendecimal semisixth). They are so named because 13/10, 17/13 and 22/17 are naiadic interseptimal intervals, and 221/220 is smaller than 170/169 by a 13-limit unnoticeable comma, 2200/2197 (petrma).
