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:
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 and Antistraintone ===
Straintone was named for its "strained" sound when played, especially in 24EDO. 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 Tetris scale instead of smaller.

=== Tetris ===
=== Lesbotonic ===
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."
Named after the word "lesbian," which itself is named after the Greek island Lesbos.
=== Cloverleaf and Anticloverleaf ===
=== 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 ===
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 and Ellipsis ===
=== 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."
