hidden fifth

Both voices leap the same direction into a 5th, a softer parallel-5th.

Both voices leaping the same direction and landing on a perfect fifth. It is a softer cousin of parallel fifths: the similar motion into such a fused interval still thins the independence of the lines, just less blatantly. Most objectionable between the outer voices.
