-The '''swiss tetrad''' is a just 7-prime-limit, 9-odd-limit chord which is an [[anomalous saturated suspension]]. In close position, it is [[unison|1]]-[[7/6]]-[[3/2]]-[[7/4]] (12:14:18:21), with steps 7/6-9/7-7/6-8/7. Tempered versions of it have been called "subminor seventh chords" or "swiss sixth chords", so "swiss tetrad" splits the difference.

+<!-- Note: This was at one point labeled a “Swiss tetrad”, seemingly due to a mistaken identification of the “Swiss sixth chord”. [[User:Bcmills]] doesn't see how it would actually relate to the Swiss sixth, which can be represented in 5-limit JI as [[256:320:375:450]] and seems closer to a dominant seventh than a subminor one. -->
