The Sjowaazheñ tradition takes a purely melodic, rather than harmonic, approach to tuning, unlike the [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin/Music#Talman_music|Talman]] and [[Verse:Tricin/Bjeheond/Music|Bjeheondian]] traditions. Traditionally, the building blocks of Sjowaazheñ scales are tetrachords or pentachords which divide the perfect fourth into three or four intervals. Innovations over the years have led to finer divisions or "n-chords" of the perfect fourth being used in more "sophisticated" music. The general term for an n-chord in Sjowaazheñ is ''hañbaac'' (pl. ''hañbaacin''). | The Sjowaazheñ tradition takes a purely melodic, rather than harmonic, approach to tuning, unlike the [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin/Music#Talman_music|Talman]] and [[Verse:Tricin/Bjeheond/Music|Bjeheondian]] traditions.
