An enumeration is a notation of the form a:b:c:d:e.... where a,b,c,d,e... are natural numbers, but not necessarily, which is notation shorthand for a set of ratios starting from a/a, b/a, c/a, d/a, e/a... ordered from a, all the way to the last term on the right. a is called the "root" of the chord, and it might be not be the ''root'' of the chord as defined Western music theory. It is the starting point by which all the other intervals are related.
