Mintha was a nymph turned into a mint plant by a goddess whom she got in the way of, and major 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 {{Optimal ET sequence| 22, 29, 46, 53, 80, 87, 111, 121, 140, 198 and 205 }}.
