The akjaysma is an unnoticeable 7-limit comma. It is the difference between a stack of seven 105/64's and five octaves; [47 -7 -7 -7⟩ in monzo and 0.338 cents in size. For equal divisions N up to 37316, this comma is tempered out only if 7 divides N. Examples are 7edo, 77edo, 217edo, 224edo, 441edo and 665edo.
Temperaments
Tempering out the akjaysma splits the octave into 7 equal parts and maps 105th harmonic into 5\7. It leads to a number of regular temperaments including absurdity, brahmagupta, and neutron.
In addition, akjaysma appears in temperaments whose period is a multiple of 7 (14, 21, 28, 35, etc.), however from a composer's standpoint it may not be the most prominent characterization of these temperaments due to a lot of inherent differences between multiples of 7edo. Tempering it out along with the landscape comma offers the aptly named 441 & 1407 akjayland temperament, that divides the octave into 7 x 3 = 21 parts.
