There are six keenanismic triads, consisting of three pairs of chords in inverse relationship: 1-5/4-12/7 with steps 5/4-11/8-7/6 and 1-7/6-8/5 with steps 7/6-11/8-5/4; 1-6/5-7/4 with steps 6/5-16/11-8/7 and 1-6/5-11/8 with steps 6/5-8/7-16/11; and 1-8/5-7/4 with steps 8/5-12/11-8/7 and 1-8/5-11/6 with steps 8/5-8/7-12/11.  


Keenanismic tetrads are especially interesting; there are fifteen in total. These include three palindromic tetrads: 1-5/4-11/8-12/7 with steps 5/4-11/10-5/4-7/6; 1-6/5-11/8-7/4 with steps 6/5-8/7-14/11-8/7; and 1-7/5-8/5-7/4 with steps 7/5-8/7-12/11-8/7. Then there are four remarkable tetrads in two inversely related pairs which are the remaining (circular) permutations of the intervals 5/4, 6/5, 7/6, 8/7 making up the otonal and utonal tetrad after those two chords have been removed. These are 1-5/4-3/2-12/7 with steps 5/4-6/5-8/7-7/6 and 1-6/5-3/2-7/4 with steps 6/5-5/4-7/6-8/7; and 1-5/4-10/7-12/7 with steps 5/4-8/7-6/5-7/6 and 1-5/4-16/11-7/4 with steps 5/4-7/6-6/5-8/7. Another set of four tetrads coming in two inverse pairs are 1-11/8-3/2-12/7 with steps 11/8-12/11-8/7-7/6 and 1-12/11-3/2-7/4 with steps 12/11-11/8-7/6-8/7; and 1-7/6-8/5-11/6 with steps 7/6-11/8-8/7-12/11 and 1-11/8-8/5-7/4 with steps 11/8-7/6-12/11-8/7. Another pair of inversely related tetrads are 1-6/5-11/8-3/2 with steps 6/5-8/7-12/11-4/3 and 1-6/5-8/5-7/4 with steps 6/5-4/3-12/11-8/7. Finally, there is the pair 1-8/7-5/4-11/8 with steps 8/7-12/11-11/10-16/11 and 1-16/11-8/5-7/4 with steps 16/11-11/10-12/11-8/7. Five of these tetrads, the four which permute the steps of the otonal tetrad and one of a palindromic tetrads, have all step sizes larger than 9/8, and it is these five which are featured in the [[Tablets#x4et tablets-The keenanismic tablet|keenanismic tablet]] section of the article on tablets.
Keenanismic chords are of [[Dyadic chord/Pattern of essentially tempered chords|pattern 2]] in the [[11-odd-limit]], meaning that there are 6 triads, 15 tetrads and 6 pentads, for a total of 27 distinct chord structures.  


Finally, there are six keenanismic pentads coming in three inverse pairs. These are 1-5/4-11/8-3/2-12/7 with steps 5/4-11/10-12/11-8/7-7/6 and 1-8/7-5/4-11/8-12/7 with steps 8/7-12/11-11/10-5/4-7/6; and the pair of pairs 1-6/5-11/8-3/2-7/4 with steps 6/5-8/7-12/11-7/6-8/7 and 1-12/11-5/4-3/2-12/7 with steps 12/11-8/7-6/5-8/7-7/6 plus 1-6/5-11/8-3/2-12/7 with steps 6/5-8/7-12/11-8/7-7/6 and 1-12/11-5/4-3/2-7/4 with steps 12/11-8/7-6/5-7/6-8/7.
There are six keenanismic triads, consisting of three pairs of chords in inverse relationship:
* 1–5/4–12/7 with steps 5/4, 11/8, 7/6, and its inverse
* 1–5/4–16/11 with steps 5/4, 7/6, 11/8;
* 1–8/7–11/8 with steps 8/7, 6/5, 16/11, and its inverse
* 1–6/5–11/8 with steps 6/5, 8/7, 16/11;
* 1–8/5–7/4 with steps 8/5, 12/11, 8/7, and its inverse
* 1–12/11–7/4 with steps 12/11, 8/5, 8/7.  


Equal temperaments with keenanismic tetrads include 19, 22, 31, 41, 46, 53, 68, 72, 87, 94, 103, 118, 159, 190, 212, 284 and 402de.</pre></div>

If we are willing to go as high as the [[15-odd-limit]], there are many more keenanismic chords, all of which have a step of size [[16/15]]. There are six additional keenanismic triads in the 15-odd-limit, 32 additional keenanismic tetrads and 44 additional pentads.
