A '''keenanismic chord''' is an [[11-odd-limit]] [[essentially tempered chord]] which is tempered by the keenanisma, [[385/384]]. There are six keenanismic triads, consisting of three pairs of chords in inverse relationship:  
A '''keenanismic chord''' is an [[essentially tempered chord]] which is tempered by the keenanisma, [[385/384]].  
 
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.
 
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
* 1-5/4-12/7 with steps 5/4-11/8-7/6, and its inverse

* 1-12/11-5/4-3/2-7/4 with steps 12/11-8/7-6/5-7/6-8/7.
The count of 11-limit chords is triads: 6, tetrads: 15, pentads: 6, for a total of 27.


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.
