	Zero-indexed interval and degrees can be used for arbitrary scales. However, instead of using the terms ''k-mosstep'' and ''k-mosdegree'', the terms ''k-scalestep'' and ''k-scaledegree'' are used. As with octave-equivalent mosses, these terms can be further shortened to ''k-step'' and ''k-degree'', if context allows.		Zero-indexed interval and degrees can be used for arbitrary scales.

Instead, major and minor is used, so as to prevent ambiguity over calling every interval perfect.

	Mosstep intervals can exceed the octave as they do in standard music theory (eg, a diatonic 9th is a diatonic 2nd raised one octave). For a single-period mos, any interval that is raised by an octave will be the same interval quality that it was before raising. Likewise, for a multi-period mos, any interval raised by the period, where the period is a fraction of the octave, will be the same interval quality that it was before raising.		Mosstep intervals can exceed the octave as they do in standard music theory (eg, a diatonic 9th is a diatonic 2nd raised one octave).

Likewise, for a multi-period mos, any interval raised by the period, where the period is some fraction of the octave, will be the same interval quality that it was before raising.

	Examples using 5L 2s and 4L 4s are provided below. Note that 5L 2s interval names are identical to that of standard music theory, apart from the 0-indexed interval names. To differentiate intervals of a specific mos, a prefix can be used in place of "mos-", outlined <link>. For a detailed derivation of these intervals, see <link>.

TAMNAMS primarily uses the following names for octave-equivalent (or tempered-octave) mosses with step counts between 6 and 10. These names are optional, and conventional ''xL ys'' names can be used instead in discussions regarding mosses, its intervals, scale degrees, and modes.

	Prefixes and abbreviations for each name are also provided, and can used in place of the prefix ''mos-'' and its abbreviation of ''m-'', as seen in mos-related terms, such as ''mosstep'' and ''mosdegree'', and their abbreviations of ''ms'' and ''md'', respectively. For example, discussion of the intervals and scale degrees of ''oneirotonic'' uses the terms ''oneirosteps'' and ''oneirodegrees'', abbreviated as ''oneis'' and ''oneid'', respectively.
