Note my new e-mail address: dawiertx+sbcglobal.net
(replace + with @, of course).
Since an undecimal comma, 33/32, is very close to two
septimal commas, I think the interval 131072/130977
needs a name if it doesn't have one already. It's not
listed in Scala. I'm thinking "undecimal schisma", or
"7-11 schisma". It measures out to about 1.2552 cents.
Also, I've noticed two intervals known as Beta in the
Scala archive: Beta 2 and Beta 5, the former being the
septimal schisma. Are there other Beta intervals, like
Beta 1, Beta 3, etc.?

also with prime limit 11 and with about this level of complexity,
there are
160083/160000 = 0.8978 cents
200704/200475 = 1.9764 cents
41503/41472 = 1.2936 cents
496125/495616 = 1.7771 cents
43923/43904 = 0.7491 cents
180224/180075 = 1.4319 cents
151263/151250 = 0.1488 cents
simpler, of course, is the "kalisma" 9801/9800 or 0.1766 cents. where
does this name derive from? kali? a kalimba?

We haven't finished naming the 7-limit commas as yet.

My guess is that it's from Greek _kalos, -e, -on_
"beautiful, good", but that's just a guess.
