A '''minthmic chord''' is an [[Dyadic chord|essentially tempered dyadic chord]] which is defined in the [[13-limit]] rank five temperament, and in addition the rank three 2.3.11.13 temperament, tempering out the minthma, [[352/351]].  
A '''minthmic chord''' is an [[Dyadic chord|essentially tempered dyadic chord]] which is defined in the [[13-limit]] rank-5 temperament, and in addition the rank-3 2.3.11.13 temperament, tempering out the minthma, [[352/351]].  


We have the four minthmic tetrads, with steps the minthmic tempering of [[11/9]]-[[16/13]]-[[7/6]]-[[8/7]], 11/9-16/13-8/7-7/6, 16/13-11/9-7/6-8/7, and 16/13-11/9-8/7-7/6, leading to temperings of 1-11/9-[[3/2]]-[[7/4]], 1-11/9-3/2-[[12/7]], 1-16/13-3/2-7/4 and 1-16/13-3/2-12/7. These in turn have subchords such as the minthmic temperings of 1-11/9-3/2 and 1-16/13-3/2. Note that tempering 1-11/9-3/2-7/4 and 1-11/9-3/2-12/7 in [[jove tetrads|jove]] is also possible, leading to a similar but not identical chord.
We have the four minthmic tetrads, with steps the minthmic tempering of

Mintha was a nymph turned into a mint plant by a goddess whom she got in the way of, and minthmic tempering has the slightly sharp, minty-fresh fifths some people appreciate ([[Margo Schulter]] has expressed great fondness for this comma, for example.) Equal temperaments with minthmic chords include {{EDOs|22, 29, 46, 53, 80, 87, 111, 121, 140, 198 and 205}}.
