Garischisma

The garischisma or septimal schisma is a very small 7-limit comma measuring about 3.80 cents. It can be considered the septimal counterpart of the schisma: whereas the schisma is the difference between the Pythagorean comma and the syntonic comma, the garischisma is the difference between the septimal comma and the Pythagorean comma. Equivalently, it can be described as the amount by which a stack of two apotomes falls short of a septimal whole tone. It is also the difference between the aberschisma and the schisma in the full 7-limit.
