It seems you're interpreting "temperament-agnostic" differently than I do. By "temperament-agnostic", I just meant a mos name that's not of the form $temperament_name[n], and rather than saying that hard diatonic mosses are archy, we can just say they're ultrahard.

Using existing names of temperaments in some way was a difficult thing to avoid, so we altered some of the temperament name-derived names we used. We used mos names directly derived from temperament names via the suffix -oid only for temperaments that are so inaccurate they might as well just refer to corresponding MOS pattern.

Maybe I should chime in here as well. The names on my extension page (https://en.xen.wiki/w/User:Ganaram_inukshuk/TAMNAMS_Extension) are for three separate naming systems: systematic, specific, and equave-agnostic, but I believe the specific names are being referenced here.

The specific names I came up with are meant to follow the mindset of tamnams as close as possible, using temperanemt-suggestive names as a last resort or if sufficiently abstracted from the original temperament name(s), hence the gemstone names (spinel, agate, and olivine containing pine, eight, and nine, in the same spirit as onyx) and villatonic being distantly related of avila and casablanca by use of wordplay (like how jaric references multiple temperaments).

Somewhat related are the systematic names, a variant of Frostburn's system that abandons the prefixes f-, m-, p-, and s- in favor of hardness prefixes because the single-letter prefixes too were temperament-suggestive (except when used for m- and p-chromatic).

There were other names (like huxloga, a portmanteau of three temperaments) but I took them down because I didn't feel comfortable using those names because they were conjured up with a shallow understanding of the mos itself.
