4375/4374, the ragisma, being the difference between a stack of two large limmas and 7/6, is a 7-limit unnoticeable comma. It is the smallest 7-limit superparticular ratio. It is tempered out in ragismic microtemperaments. 4375/4374 is also equal to (25/18)2/(27/14) and the difference between a kleisma (S252 × S26) and a marvel comma (S15 = S25 × S26 × S27), hence its expression as S25 / S27 which directly implies it can be expressed as (28/24 = 7/6)/(27/25)2.
Etymology
This comma was allegedly named by Erv Wilson no later than 2001[1]. Interestingly, by 2004 people had already lost track of its origin and meaning[2]. Maybe it was named after Indian ragas? (Pure speculation.)
