4131/4096, the septendecimal comma or Hunt flat 2 comma, is a 17-limit comma measuring about 14.7 ¢. It is the amount by which 17/16 deviates from 256/243.
Besides the relationship above, it is also the difference between 18/17 and 2187/2048, between 17/12 and 1024/729, and their respective inverses. Furthermore, it and the septendecimal schisma 2187/2176 make a Pythagorean comma.
The septendecimal comma is significant in the Functional Just System as the 17-limit formal comma which translates a Pythagorean interval to a nearby septendecimal interval. Consequently, 17/16 is represented as a minor second. In the 2020 version of Helmholtz-Ellis notation, however, that role is taken by 2187/2176, so 17/16 is represented as an augmented unison.
