Mynucumic chords are essentially tempered chords tempered by the mynucuma, 196/195.

There are 10 triads, 33 tetrads, 26 pentads and 6 hexads as 2.3.5.7.13 subgroup 13-odd-limit essentially tempered chords.

For triads, there are five pairs of chords in inverse relationship.

The mynucumic triads are temperings of

  • 1-16/13-10/7 with steps of 16/13-7/6-7/5, and its inverse
  • 1-7/6-10/7 with steps of 7/6-16/13-7/5.

The rest four inversely related pairs of triads contain semitones, such as 13/12 or 14/13:

  • 1-7/5-3/2 with steps of 7/5-14/13-4/3, and its inverse
  • 1-14/13-3/2 with steps of 14/13-7/5-4/3;
  • 1-7/6-5/4 with steps of 7/6-14/13-8/5, and its inverse
  • 1-14/13-5/4 with steps of 14/13-7/6-8/5;
  • 1-6/5-9/7 with steps of 6/5-14/13-14/9, and its inverse
  • 1-14/13-9/7 with steps of 14/13-6/5-14/9;
  • 1-9/7-7/5 with steps of 9/7-13/12-10/7, and its inverse
  • 1-13/12-7/5 with steps of 13/12-9/7-10/7.

For tetrads, there are five palindromic chords and fourteen pairs of chords in inverse relationship.

The mynucumic tetrad is palindromic, a tempering of

  • 1-7/6-7/5-13/8 chord with steps of 7/6-6/5-7/6-16/13.

The rest four palindromic tetrads contain semitones:

  • 1-14/13-7/5-3/2 chord with steps of 14/13-13/10-14/13-4/3;
  • 1-14/13-7/6-5/4 chord with steps of 14/13-13/12-14/13-8/5;
  • 1-6/5-9/7-13/7 chord with steps of 6/5-14/13-13/9-14/13;
  • 1-9/7-7/5-9/5 chord with steps of 9/7-13/12-9/7-10/9.

The inversely related pairs of tetrads also contain semitones:

  • 1-9/7-7/5-3/2 with steps of 9/7-13/12-14/13-4/3, and its inverse
  • 1-14/13-7/6-3/2 with steps of 14/13-13/12-9/7-4/3;
