Secundal

In music or music theory, secundal is the quality of a chord made from seconds, and anything related to things constructed from seconds such as counterpoint. Secundal chords are often referred to more generally as tone clusters.

Chords which may be considered as built from sevenths, because of musical inversion, are actually secundal.
