'''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]].  
'''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, tempered by the minthma, [[352/351]].  


We have two pairs of inversely related minthmic triads, all involving the [[3/2|perfect fifth]]:
There are 8 triads, 27 tetrads, 28 pentads, 12 hexads and 2 heptads as 2.3.11.13 subgroup [[13-odd-limit]] essentially tempered chords.
* 1-[[11/9]]-[[3/2]] with steps 11/9-[[16/13]]-[[4/3]], and its inverse
* 1-16/13-3/2 with steps 16/13-11/9-4/3;
* 1-3/2-[[16/9]] with steps 3/2-[[13/11]]-[[9/8]], and its inverse
* 1-3/2-[[22/13]] with steps 3/2-9/8-13/11.  


For tetrads, first there is the palindrome, a sus2sus4 chord with the m3 serving a nice ~13/11:
For triads, there are four pairs of chords in inverse relationship:
* 1-9/8-4/3-3/2 with steps 9/8-13/11-9/8-4/3.  
* 1-16/13-3/2 with steps of 16/13-11/9-4/3, and its inverse
* 1-11/9-3/2 with steps of 11/9-16/13-4/3;
* 1-13/11-4/3 with steps of 13/11-9/8-3/2, and its inverse
* 1-9/8-4/3 with steps of 9/8-13/11-3/2;
* 1-9/8-16/13 with steps of 9/8-12/11-13/8, and its inverse
* 1-12/11-16/13 with steps of 12/11-9/8-13/8;
* 1-9/8-11/9 with steps of 9/8-13/12-18/11, and its inverse
* 1-13/12-11/9 with steps of 13/12-9/8-18/11.


Then there are inversely related pairs that are concatenations of the triads:
For tetrads, there are five palindromic chords and eleven pairs of chords in inverse relationship. The palindromic chords are

If we add prime 7 to the mix, we additionally get

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.
For hexads, there are two palindromic chords and five pairs of chords in inverse relationship. The palindromic chords are

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 }}.
Finally, there is a pair of heptads in inverse relationship:
* 1-9/8-16/13-4/3-3/2-18/11-24/13 with steps of 9/8-12/11-13/12-9/8-12/11-9/8-13/12 (→[[minthmic7a]]), and its inverse
* 1-9/8-11/9-4/3-3/2-13/8-11/6 with steps of 9/8-13/12-12/11-9/8-13/12-9/8-12/11 (→[[minthmic7b]]).
 
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).
