A squbemic chord is a 13-limit essentially tempered dyadic chord which is defined via tempering out the squbema, 729/728. There are two squbemic tetrads, the temperings of 1-9/8-14/9-7/4 with steps of 9/8-18/13-9/8-8/7 and 1-9/8-13/9-13/8 with steps of 9/8-9/7-9/8-16/13. These contain two squbemic triads, the temperings of 1-9/8-13/9 and 1-9/7-13/9.
