There appear to be seventeen 3-note chords in 31tet which might have
theoretical legitimacy. They are grouped into five families. Family one
triads are: 0-271-619, 0-310-619 and 0-348-619. Family two triads are:
0-271-658, 0-310-658, 0-348-658 and 0-387-658. Family three triads are:
0-271-697, 0-310-697, 0-348-697, 0-387-697 and 0-426-697. Family four
triads are: 0-310-735, 0-348-735, 0-387-735 and 0-426-735. Family five
triad is 0-387-774.

off hand it seems like there should be at least 38.
if you take the combinations of 3 out of 6 of
1-3-5-7-9-11 you get 20.
then you have the subharmonics of these
but 1-3-9 and the 1-5-9 are the same in both directions = 38
I know i am missing probably some other matches
but then there is the question of the 15 as in 9-11-15 etc.

when applied to a I-IV-V situation.
