Mynucumic chords are essentially tempered chords tempered by the mynucuma, 196/195.

There are 10 triads, 33 tetrads, 26 pentads and 6 hexads as 2.3.5.7.13 subgroup 13-odd-limit essentially tempered chords.

For triads, there are five pairs of chords in inverse relationship.

The mynucumic triads are temperings of

  • 1–16/13–10/7 with steps of 16/13, 7/6, 7/5, and its inverse
  • 1–7/6–10/7 with steps of 7/6, 16/13, 7/5.

The rest four inversely related pairs of triads contain semitones, such as 13/12 or 14/13:

  • 1–7/5–3/2 with steps of 7/5, 14/13, 4/3, and its inverse
  • 1–14/13–3/2 with steps of 14/13, 7/5, 4/3;
  • 1–7/6–5/4 with steps of 7/6, 14/13, 8/5, and its inverse
  • 1–14/13–5/4 with steps of 14/13, 7/6, 8/5;
  • 1–6/5–9/7 with steps of 6/5, 14/13, 14/9, and its inverse
  • 1–14/13–9/7 with steps of 14/13, 6/5, 14/9;
  • 1–9/7–7/5 with steps of 9/7, 13/12, 10/7, and its inverse
  • 1–13/12–7/5 with steps of 13/12, 9/7, 10/7.

For tetrads, there are five palindromic chords and fourteen pairs of chords in inverse relationship.

The mynucumic tetrad is palindromic, a tempering of

  • 1–7/6–7/5–13/8 chord with steps of 7/6, 6/5, 7/6, 16/13.

The rest four palindromic tetrads contain semitones:

  • 1–14/13–7/5–3/2 chord with steps of 14/13, 13/10, 14/13, 4/3;
  • 1–14/13–7/6–5/4 chord with steps of 14/13, 13/12, 14/13, 8/5;

  • 1–9/7–7/5–9/5 chord with steps of 9/7, 13/12, 9/7, 10/9.
