It's the first 7 subharmonics, with the 7th subharmonic becoming the root. {{nowrap|[[140:180:210:252:315|Cs9]] {{=}} Cr,g7,9}} and {{nowrap|Cs11 {{=}} C1o11(1or5,1og9)}}. Note that s9 is not s7 plus a 9th, but a completely different chord. Usually the 9th ''ascends'' from the root, but in a sub9 chord it ''descends'' from the top note, and becomes the new root. Thus the s7 chord is contained in the ''upper'' four notes of the s9 chord, not the lower four. See [[Kite's thoughts on harmonic and subharmonic nomenclature]].

For any odd number N greater than 5, ChN is 1:3:5...N and CsN is N...5:3:1 (but 1 and 3 are generally written as their octave equivalents 4 and 6). Additions, alterations and omissions refer to degrees, not harmonics or subharmonics: Ch7,11 adds w11, not 1o11. Ch9no5 omits w5, not y3. However, all numbers > 13 refer to (sub)harmonics, e.g. Ch9,15 adds y7 and Ch19no15 omits it. When two harmonics share the same degree, omitting that degree omits the lower harmonic. Thus Ch19no7 omits 7/4.

All wa chords can be named conventionally, since wa is the default color. Thus {{dash|w1, w3, w5}} is both Cw and Cm. And {{dash|w1, Lw3, w5, w6}} is both CLw6 and C6. For aesthetic reasons, the conventional name is preferred only when neither "M" nor "m" appears in the name (since color notation doesn't use major/minor). This is especially true if the chord includes non-wa notes: {{dash|w1, w3, w5, y6}} is Cw,y6 not Cm,y6.
