Another approach takes account of the fact that, in the 5-limit, the major triad can be constructed by octave-reducing odd harmonics 1, 3, and 5, giving us 4:5:6, with the minor triad being its utonal inversion. A similar construction of septimal chords gives us 1–7/6–4/3 ([[6:7:8]]) and its inversion 1–8/7–4/3 ([[21:24:28]]). These intervals contrast by [[49/48]], similarly to how 5-limit thirds contrast by [[25/24]]. There are some issues, however. For example, the 6:7:8 chord has the root on the top rather than the bottom, and the notes may clash from being too close to each other. However, the wide voicing of these chords, those being 1–7/4–3 (4:7:12) and 1–12/7–3 (7:12:21), solve both of these issues. These triads span a twelfth. In terms of the [[chain of fifths]], these chords are simpler in superpyth than the 5-limit triads in meantone.

Therefore, it may be helpful to also consider the [[9-odd-limit]] [[anomalous saturated suspension|saturated suspensions]], 1–7/6–3/~~2–12~~/7 ([[12:14:18:21]]) and 1–9/7–3/2–12/7 ([[14:18:21:24]]), which extend the chords above and are good for creating tensions and resolutions: 1–9/7–3/2–12/7 on the fifth degree creates a leading tone that wants to go to the tonic; 1–7/6–3/~~2–12~~/7 on the fourth degree creates a flat sixth that wants to go to the fifth.
