=== Paramajor/Paraminor ===

Paramajor and Paraminor are used to describe the quartertone intervals that are on either side of a perfect fourth or perfect fifth, with paramajor intervals being sharper than their perfect counterparts by a quartertone and paraminor intervals being sharper than their perfect counterparts by a quartertone. The terms "paramajor" and "paraminor" have their roots in the terms [[Wikipedia: Major fourth and minor fifth|"major fourth" and "minor fifth"]] as used by [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]]. The reason the "para-" prefix (meaning "resembling" or "alongside"<ref>[[Wiktionary: para- #Etymology 1]]</ref>) has been added to the words "major" and "minor" as seen in Wyschnegradsky's original terms for these intervals is because the quartertone intervals surrounding the perfect fourth and perfect fifth relate to each other in a manner resembling the relationship between conventional major and minor for other scale degrees, except that this relationship occurs in a context where the note halfway between them is actually part of the base scale rather than the two notes in question.
