{{Mbox|text=This article is a work-in-progress, '''proposed rewrite''' of the following page: [[TAMNAMS Extension]]}}

Names for mosses with 2-5 steps are given names primarily for completeness. These names are designed to be as general as possible so that they can be used for non-octave mosses. The exceptions to these are the names ''monowood'' and ''biwood'', for which the mos must either be octave-equivalent or have a tempered-octave equivalence interval.
