'''Supraminor''' ~~may refer~~ to:

'''Supraminor''' (sometimes also '''superminor''') is an [[interval quality]] used to describe [[interval]]s wider than [[minor]], but narrower than [[neutral]].

* [[~~Supraminor quality|Supraminor~~]], ~~an [[interval quality]] used~~ to ~~describe [[interval]]s wider than [[~~minor~~]] but~~ narrower than [[~~neutral]]~~

== Terminology ==

* [[Subgroup temperaments #Supraminor|Supraminor temperament]]

While "superminor" is more consistent with the analogous "[[supermajor]]", it is more likely to be interpreted as "more minor", therefore implying intervals narrower than minor, whereas such intervals are rather called [[subminor]]. This may be caused by the common use of "super" in English both as an adverb and a prefix, leading to a possible parsing of the term as "super major", while "supra" is only used as a prefix. Nonetheless, since both Latin prefixes are equivalent in meaning, both terms are technically correct and are interchangeable.
