Temperaments
If used as a comma to be tempered out, this interval may be called the supersharp comma, and tempering it out leads to the rank-2 supersharp temperament, which splits the octave into two 27/20~40/27 semioctaves and generally tempers 3/2 very sharp (sharper than 3\5).
Etymology
The name supersharp has been around no later than 2010[1], coming from the fact that a very sharp fifth is a generator for the temperament.
Tristan Bay proposes the name la brea in August 2024 in reference to the taric mos scale pattern that can be formed from tempering it out.
