If tertian harmony can be considered by taking two intervals that add up to a perfect fifth, then chthonic harmony can be considered by taking two intervals that add up to a perfect fourth.  For these purposes, I will consider the "perfect" chthonic (6\29, precisely half of the perfect fourth), the downchthonic (5\29, enharmonically equivalent to a major second), and the upchthonic (7\29, enharmonically equivalent to a minor third).

Whereas tertian harmony tends to be most practical in chords of three and four pitches, chthonic harmony tends to be most practical in chords of four or five.
