English Wikipedia has an article on:
In 7-limit just intonation, 7/6 is the subminor third or septimal minor third. At about 267 cents, it is smaller than both the 5-limit minor third (6/5, ~316 cents) and the familiar 12edo minor third (300 cents). In contrast to 5/4 and 6/5, 7/6 is noticeably more consonant than it's counterpart 9/7, and a 6:7:9 minor triad can sound very stable compared to 14:18:21 .
