or [[20:25:28:35]] (step sizes 5/4, 28/25, and 5/4). Since the [[28/25]] interval in this chord also represents [[9/8]] in septimal meantone and [[marvel]], and [[10/9]] in septimal meantone and [[starling]], this chord is an [[essentially tempered chord]] in those temperaments in the [[9-odd-limit]].

<!-- Note: The close approximation of the 7-limit chord in meantone is specific to quarter-comma meantone. Many other meantones, such as 12edo and 19edo, do not approximate it nearly as closely, although they may nonetheless support the septimal meantone interpretation that unifies it with the French sixth. -->
