The tridecapyth comma (monzo[28 -20 0 0 0 1, ratio: 3489660928/3486784401) is an unnoticeable 13-limit comma which measures roughly 1.43 cents. It is the interval which separates 13/8 and a stack of twenty perfect fifths (3/2) octave reduced, and which separates 16/13 and a stack of four Pythagorean limmas (256/243). It is perhaps more easily conceptualized as reaching 13/4 through (9/8)10.
