==~~Suspended Seven Chord~~==

Anybody familiar with 12 ET pop music has heard of suspended chords which come in either sus4 or sus2 variety. In this sense, both chords form a suspension which originally meant to resolve to the third in the chord~~. Some xen musicians consider 11/6 to be~~ a ~~new sort~~ of ~~suspended, neutral like sound which can work too as a suspension resolving to either~~ the ~~octave or the major/minor seventh of a~~ chord. ~~While~~ it ~~throws~~ a ~~new quality and color in the chord compared to sus4 or sus2, sus7 chords generally have a somewhat reminiscent quality~~ of ~~suspended chords.~~

The minor seven half-flat 5 chord is a version of the standard m7b5 chord that exists in edos such as 24 and 31. In 24edo, it has a formula of 1-b3-d5-b7, or edosteps 0-6-13-20. In 31edo, the edosteps are 0-8-17-26. This chord is reminiscent of mavila temperament’s “minor 7th” chord, because the 5th is flat.

Anybody familiar with 12 ET pop music has heard of suspended chords which come in either sus4 or sus2 variety. In this sense, both chords form a suspension which originally meant to resolve to the third in the chord. Some xen musicians consider 11/6 to be a new sort of suspended, neutral like sound which can work too as a suspension resolving to either the octave or the major/minor seventh of a chord. Thus, a chord of 6:9:11 can be considered a sus7 chord. Unlike its close neighbors, 11/6 has a floaty like sound which works perfectly for that light sound people want in modern music yet is xen enough to feel fresh. While it throws a new quality and color in the chord compared to sus4 or sus2, sus7 chords generally have a somewhat reminiscent quality of suspended chords.
