Degree number Function Regular triad
I Tonic I-III-VI
II Supertonic II-IV-VII
III Mediant III-V-VIII
IV Subdominant IV-VI-I
V Antitonic V-VII-II
VI Dominant VI-VIII-III
VII Submediant VII-I-IV
VIII Leading tone
Subtonic
VIII-II-V

Due to regular triads not being able to simply skip every other note, the regular VIII triad uniquely contains both degrees which are dissonant to the tonic.
