Tetris was named after a possible naming of its [[MOS_scale|MOS]], "tetra-L tri-s" (4L3s), which could be shortened to "tel-tris," and then to just "tetris."

=== Quizzical ===
=== Quizzical ===
Quizzical was named similarly to Tetris, using "quin-s di-L" for its [[MOS_scale|MOS]], 2L5s.
Quizzical was named for a possible naming of its [[MOS scale|MOS]], "quin-s di-L." (2L5s)

Tricomma was named for being similar to the Tritonic scale ([[3edo]]), plus some commas, for small enough generators. Ellipsis is a play on words relating to "tri-period."

This article or section contains multiple idiosyncratic terms. Such terms are used by only a few people and are not regularly used within the community.

Terms: Scale names proposed/used by Fynn Cerulean

This page has a list of scales generated by stacking a generator up 5 times and down once, as one does with a fifth to create the Diatonic scale.

Names

Certain scales, in particular the ones that are labeled as idiosyncratic in the above table, were named as such for certain reasons, as explained below:

Straintone and Antistraintone

Straintone was named for its "strained" sound when played. Antistraintone was named after the fact that is it effectively the "anti-" version of Straintone, made with a generator larger than that of 11edo's Lesbotonic scale instead of smaller.

Lesbotonic

Named after the word "lesbian," which itself is named after the Greek island Lesbos.

Cloverleaf and Anticloverleaf

Cloverleaf was named for its shape when placed on a circle, being similar to that of a clover. Anticloverleaf was named for a similar reason to Antistraintone, with the generator instead being smaller than 9edo's Quizzical scale.

Quizzical

Quizzical was named for a possible naming of its MOS, "quin-s di-L." (2L5s)

Tricomma and Ellipsis

Tricomma was named for being similar to the Tritonic scale (3edo), plus some commas, for small enough generators. Ellipsis is a play on words relating to "tri-period."
