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]].  
'''Minthmic chords''' are [[Dyadic chord|essentially tempered dyadic chords]] in the [[13-limit]] rank-5 temperament, and in addition the rank-3 2.3.11.13 [[subgroup]] temperament, tempering out the minthma, [[352/351]].  


We have the four minthmic tetrads, with steps the minthmic tempering of
We have two pairs of inversely related minthmic triads, all involving the [[3/2|perfect fifth]]:
* [[11/9]]-[[16/13]]-[[7/6]]-[[8/7]],  
* 1-[[11/9]]-[[3/2]] with steps 11/9-[[16/13]]-[[4/3]], and its inverse
* 11/9-16/13-8/7-7/6,
* 1-16/13-3/2 with steps 16/13-11/9-4/3;
* 16/13-11/9-7/6-8/7, and  
* 1-3/2-[[16/9]] with steps 3/2-[[13/11]]-[[9/8]], and its inverse
* 16/13-11/9-8/7-7/6,
* 1-3/2-[[22/13]] with steps 3/2-9/8-13/11.


leading to temperings of
For tetrads, first there is the palindrome, a sus2sus4 chord with the m3 serving a nice ~13/11:
* 1-11/9-[[3/2]]-[[7/4]],
* 1-9/8-4/3-3/2 with steps 9/8-13/11-9/8-4/3.  
* 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
Then there are inversely related pairs that are concatenations of the triads:
* 1-11/9-3/2 and  
* 1-11/9-3/2-16/9 with steps 11/9-16/13-13/11-9/8, and its inverse
* 1-16/13-3/2.  
* 1-16/13-3/2-22/13 with steps 16/13-11/9-9/8-13/11;
* 1-11/9-3/2-22/13 with steps 11/9-16/13-9/8-13/11, and its inverse
* 1-16/13-3/2-16/9 with steps 16/13-11/9-13/11-9/8.
 
As well as
* 1-3/2-13/8-11/6 with steps 3/2-13/12-9/8-12/11, and its inverse
* 1-3/2-18/11-16/9 with steps 3/2-12/11-13/12-9/8.
 
If we add prime 7 to the mix, we additionally get
* 1-11/9-3/2-[[7/4]] with steps 11/9-16/13-[[7/6]]-[[8/7]], and its inverse
* 1-16/13-3/2-[[12/7]] with steps 16/13-11/9-8/7-7/6;
* 1-11/9-3/2-12/7, withs steps 11/9-16/13-8/7-7/6, and its inverse
* 1-16/13-3/2-7/4 with steps 16/13-11/9-7/6-8/7.  


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.

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 }}.
