Original Wikitext content:
A //werckismic triad// is one of two 11-limit [[dyadic chord|essentially tempered dyadic chords]] in inverse relation, constructed from the intervals 8/7, 11/9 and 10/7 which make up an octave under werckismic (441/440) tempering. That is, tempered versions of either 1-8/7-7/5 or 1-11/9-7/5. The triads can be extended to the //werckismic tetrad//, 1-8/7-7/5-8/5, with steps of size 8/7-11/9-8/7-5/4. Werckismic tetrads in a meantone tuning such as 43et can be equated with the French sixth chord. Equal temperaments with werckismic triads and tetrads include 31, 41, 43, 46, 58, 72, 77, 84, 103, 118, 130, 159, 171, 190, 248, 289 and 320.
