11-comma would mean 11 stacked commas, making one, big-ass comma?

(That would be about 1/8 tone?)

***Hi Chris,

Well, either one of the "main" commas (syntonic or Pythagorean) is
about 1/8 tone by itself, so the "fat" comma would be a whole tone
and 3/8, I believe...

pretty good, Joe. one syntonic comma = ~21.5062896 cents.
11 syntonic commas stacked together = ~236.5691856 cents.

see my explanation of how 12edo works as both a
1/12-Pythagorean-comma and a 1/11-syntonic-comma tuning:
