TERNAMS (pronounced /tərneɪmz/, ''TER-names'') is a system meant to provide tuning-agnostic names for MV3 ternary scales.  The name "TERNAMS" is a portmanteau of "ternary" and "names," specifically chosen by comparison to [[TAMNAMS]].

=== Antinicetone (Chiral 2L2M3s) ===
Antinicetone is the inverse of the Nicetone scale.  It can be collapsed to form [[4L 3s|Smitonic]] (L = M), [[2L 5s|Antidiatonic]] (M = s), or [[2L 2s|Diwood]] (s = 0).  Since each mode of Antinicetone is a unique inversion of two different Nicetone modes, the modes can be named as a combination of the two modes which they invert.

=== Omnidiatonic (Chiral 2L3M2s) ===
[[Omnidiatonic]] is a scale that can be collapsed into both standard [[5L 2s|Diatonic]] (L = M) and [[2L 5s|Antidiatonic]] (M = s), as well as their parental [[2L 3s|Pentatonic scale]] (s = 0).  Its seven modes can be named with respect to the corresponding modes of Diatonic.

=== Nicetone (Chiral 3L2M2s) ===
The name "[[Nicetone]]" is chosen by comparison to [[Meantone family|Meantone]], as it is a variant of the Diatonic scale that distinguishes between two types of whole tones.  It can be collapsed to form [[5L 2s|Diatonic]] (L = M), [[3L 4s|Mosh]] (M = s), and [[3L 2s|Antipentic]] (s = 0).  The seven modes of this scale can be named after the Greek-language names of the Byzantine Octoechoi, as to distinguish them from the modes of MV2 diatonic.
