A '''minthmic chord''' is an [[Dyadic chord|essentially tempered dyadic chord]] which is defined in the [[13-limit]] rank-5 temperament, and in addition the rank-3 2.3.11.13 temperament, tempering out the minthma, [[352/351]].  
'''Major minthmic chords''' are [[Dyadic chord|essentially tempered dyadic chords]] in the [[13-limit]] rank-5 temperament, and in addition the rank-3 2.3.11.13 [[subgroup]] temperament, tempered by the major minthma, [[352/351]].  


We have the four minthmic tetrads, with steps the minthmic tempering of
There are 8 triads, 27 tetrads, 28 pentads, 12 hexads and 2 heptads as 2.3.11.13 subgroup [[13-odd-limit]] essentially tempered chords.
* [[11/9]]-[[16/13]]-[[7/6]]-[[8/7]],
* 11/9-16/13-8/7-7/6,
* 16/13-11/9-7/6-8/7, and
* 16/13-11/9-8/7-7/6,


leading to temperings of  
For triads, there are four pairs of chords in inverse relationship:
* 1-11/9-[[3/2]]-[[7/4]],  
* 1–16/13–3/2 with steps of 16/13, 11/9, 4/3, and its inverse
* 1-11/9-3/2-[[12/7]],  
* 1–11/9–3/2 with steps of 11/9, 16/13, 4/3;
* 1-16/13-3/2-7/4 and  
* 1–13/11–4/3 with steps of 13/11, 9/8, 3/2, and its inverse

* 1–13/12–11/9 with steps of 13/12, 9/8, 18/11.


These in turn have subchords such as the minthmic temperings of  
For tetrads, there are five palindromic chords and eleven pairs of chords in inverse relationship. The palindromic chords are
* 1-11/9-3/2 and
* 1–11/9–3/2–13/8 with steps of 11/9, 16/13, 13/12, 16/13;
* 1-16/13-3/2.

Note that tempering 1-11/9-3/2-7/4 and 1-11/9-3/2-12/7 in [[jove tetrads|jove]] is also possible, leading to a similar but not identical chord.

Mintha was a nymph turned into a mint plant by a goddess whom she got in the way of, and minthmic tempering has the slightly sharp, minty-fresh fifths some people appreciate ([[Margo Schulter]] has expressed great fondness for this comma, for example.) Equal temperaments with minthmic chords include {{EDOs| 22, 29, 46, 53, 80, 87, 111, 121, 140, 198 and 205 }}.
