Original Wikitext content:
A //minthmic chord// is an [[Dyadic chord|essentially tempered dyadic chord]] which is defined in the 13-limit rank five temperament, and in addition the rank three 2.3.11.13 temperament, tempering out the minthma, 352/351. We have the four minthmic tetrads, with steps the minthmic tempering of 11/9-16/13-7/6-8/7, 11/9-16/13-8/7-7/6, 16/13-11/9-7/6-8/7, and 16/13-11/9-8/7-7/6, leading to temperings of 1-11/9-3/2-7/4, 1-11/9-3/2-12/7, 1-16/13-3/2-7/4 and 1-16/13-3/2-12/7. These in tern have subchords such as the minthmic temperings of 1-11/9-3/2 and 1-16/13-3/2. Note that tempering 1-11/9-3/2-7/4 and 1-11/9-3/2-12/7 in [[jove tetrads|jove]] is also possible, leading to a similar but not identical chord. Mintha was a nymph turned into a mint plant by a goddess whom she got in the way of, and minthmic tempering has the slightly sharp, minty-fresh fifths some people appreciate ([[Margo Schulter]] has expressed great fondness for this comma, for example.) Equal temperaments with minthmic chords include 22, 29, 46, 53, 80, 87, 111, 121, 140 and 198.
