An ainic chord is an essentially tempered dyadic chord tempered by 936/935, the ainos comma. So far, about fourteen ainic triads are known, however, other triads as well as tetrads, pentads and so forth are likely to exist.

The known ainic triads are:

  • 1-17/16-13/11 with steps 17/16-10/9-22/13, and its inversions
  • 1-10/9-13/11 with steps 10/9-17/16-22/13, and its inversions
  • 1-18/17-5/4 with steps 18/17-13/11-8/5, and its inversions
  • 1-13/11-5/4 with steps 13/11-18/17-8/5, and its inversions
  • 1-13/11-17/12 with steps 13/11-6/5-24/17, and its inversions
  • 1-6/5-17/12 with steps 6/5-13/11-24/17, and its inversions
  • 1-11/9-24/17 with steps 11/9-15/13-17/12, and its inversions
