The 26-comma is a 3-limit semifourth that acts as a comma in certain temperaments. It is the difference between 26 perfect fifths and 15 octaves, as well as being two Pythagorean commas sharp of 9/8.

While it is exceptionally large for a comma (two of them make a near-perfect fourth, off by the small 53-comma), it is tempered out in 26edo, because of that temperament's narrow fifths.

Used as an interval in its own right, it is the Pythagorean inverse triple-diminished second. It approximates intervals like 15/13, and is the simplest Pythagorean interval of this size. As such, it could also be known as the Pythagorean semifourth.
