Thanks for all the replies.
Tom asked me to take care of the backlog -- that is let anything great
through but don't flood our mailboxes.
I just dropped a dozen or so. (and fatfingered one that went through,
apologies)
Here is a summary of the ones I dropped
There were 10 mentions of subharmonic.
There were 3 mentions of fundamental
There was one suggestion of undertone
and another of fractional harmonic or fractional frequency
On Wikipedia, subharmonic redirects to "Undertone series" which begins "In
music...".
Meriam-Webster has an entry for subharmonic.
: a component of a periodic wave having a frequency that is an integral
submultiple of the fundamental frequency
