442/441, the seminaiadma, is a small 17-limit superparticular comma about 3.9 cents in size. It is the difference between 21/17 and 26/21, and forms the amount by which a stack consisting of 13/8 and 17/16 exceeds a stack of two 21/16s. It differs from 441/440 (werckisma) by 194481/194480 (scintillisma) – an unnoticeable comma measuring ~0.0089 cents. By tempering it out is defined the seminaiadmic temperament, which enables the seminaiadmic chords.

Etymology

The name seminaiadma was named by Xenllium in 2023, for the following reasons - its size is about a half of minor naiadma, 221/220 (similar to semicomma, whose size is about a half of syntonic comma). Tempering it out leads equating 21/17 and 26/21 into a single submajor third interval, two of which give an interseptimal interval, 26/17 (octave complement of a naiadic interval, 17/13).
