::::::::: I dislike val strongly because the dictionary says it's an abbreviation for value. Which is not only vague, but also misleading because there are multiple values in a single val. I don't see why val can't be replaced with something better. I still like edomapping. I think it's the opposite of jargon, because it's very self-explanatory. For the ED3 case, I propose edt-mapping or ed3-mapping. For the general case of rank-1 mappings that aren't edos, I propose edonoi-mapping. In other words, you just specify what the mapping is used for in the name. For the even more general case of the combination of edomappings and edonoi-mappings, I propose rank-1 mapping. For everything outside of that, I propose mapping-row. I'm OK with mapping being shortened to map in any or all of these cases. I'm also OK with hyphenating, e.g. edo-map or edo-mapping. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 06:29, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

::::::::::That's a good solution. Thanks FloraC.

::::::::::Kite, I find all those terms you suggest above to be acceptable (except I don't know what "edonoi" means). I have used many of them myself in the past. But none of them is a potential replacement for "val" since vals include both "rank-1 mappings" and "mapping rows". Douglas and I have chosen to use "map" for this purpose in our pedagogical materials, thereby giving it a more specific meaning than "mapping" within the domain of tuning theory. --[[User:Dave Keenan|Dave Keenan]] ([[User talk:Dave Keenan|talk]]) 06:45, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
