** A more conventional interpretation labels the 300{{c}} third as "minor" and 375{{c}} as major, which is more sensible in terms of interval size and sound, despite technically not following Pythagorean notation.

~~In terms of [[mediant (tonality)|latitude]], these~~ triads ~~tend~~ to ~~range from ±5-25°, corresponding~~ to simple [[5-limit|classical]] or [[7-limit|septimal]] intervals. More extreme than major and minor are [[Extraclassical tonality|tendo and arto]], corresponding to [[interseptimal]] and [[13-limit|tridecimal]] intervals, and ultimately suspended, corresponding to simple [[3-limit]] intervals; less extreme than major and minor are neutral triads.

The triads closer to the middle of the respective ranges correspond to simple [[5-limit|classical]] or [[7-limit|septimal]] intervals. More extreme than major and minor are [[Extraclassical tonality|tendo and arto]], corresponding to [[interseptimal]] and [[13-limit|tridecimal]] intervals, and ultimately suspended, corresponding to simple [[3-limit]] intervals; less extreme than major and minor are neutral triads.

As interval regions, [[Minor third (interval region)|minor thirds]] and [[Major third (interval region)|major thirds]] range from, at the widest, 240-340c and 360-460c, although people tend to restrict this further, such as to roughly 260-330c and 370-440c. And as an interval region, [[Perfect fifth~~|perfect fifths~~]] range from around 660 to 740 cents at the widest, often being restricted to 680-720 cents.
