Combined both systems described by Frostburn and me (Ganaram); organized existing sections into mos descendant naming, names for mosses by family, and individual names; Greek-ified wood names and extended up to 12; wasn't sure if "p-chro smitonic" was referring to a family or a single mos; stuff may be out-of-order or broken so feel free to edit if so

This is a systematic extension for the [[TAMNAMS]] MOS scale naming system based on parent / grandparent relationships. It's intended for a user interface so that every MOS pattern has a memorable name. There's also a more [[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS_Extension|euphonic version]] at least for [[User:Frostburn]]'s taste.
This is a systematic extension for the [[TAMNAMS]] MOS scale naming system based on relationships of a named mos (parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, etc). It's intended for a user interface so that every MOS pattern has a memorable name. There's also a more [[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS_Extension|euphonic version]] at least for [[User:Frostburn]]'s taste.


== Diatonic family ==
== Naming mos descendants ==
To name mosses that have more than 10 notes, names are based on how they're related to a parent mos and the step ratio relative to that parent. This section is currently work-in-progress and currently describes two systems devised by [[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS Extension|Frostburn]] and [[User:Ganaram inukshuk/TAMNAMS Extension|Ganaram inukshuk]].

=== Wood scales ===
Trivial multi-MOS scales of ''k'' periods are named '''''k''-wood''.''''' If k is greater than 5 and no greater than 12, these can be written out, as shown in the table below.

== Woods ==
== Other mos names ==
Trivial multi-MOS scales of n periods are named '''n-wood''' or spelled out resulting in: hexawood, septawood, octawood, nonawood and decawood.
 
== Daughter scales ==
Rest of the MOS scales up to 10 notes are treated similarly to diatonic using the shorthand ''chro'' for ''chromatic''. If the parent scale of a basic MOS scale is hard the name is ''p-chro (parent's name)'' e.g. ''p-chro machinoid'' for [[5L 6s]] (''s-chro machinoid'' is an alternative). On the other hand if the parent scale of a basic MOS is soft the name is ''m-chro (parent's name)'' e.g. ''m-chro machinoid'' for [[6L 5s]] (''f-chro machinoid'' is an alternative).
 
== Granddaughter scales ==
Granddaughters are analogues of m-enharmonic, f-enharmonic, p-enharmonic and s-enharmonic. The system's shorthand for ''enharmonic'' is ''enhar''.

== Great-granddaughter scales ==
Great-granddaughters derive names from the hardness of the great-grandparent scale e.g. minisoft becomes miso.

The anti-giedratic MOS is given the name zheligowskic in reference to [[Wikipedia:Lucjan_Żeligowski|Lucjan Żeligowski]] leading fights against the town of [[Wikipedia:Giedraičiai|Giedraičiai]].

Hendecoid is a name given to [[11L 2s]] by Eliora from Greek "eleven", referencing how "its generator is so close to 11/8 as to be called nothing but that", as well as the number of long steps, meaning that overall there's a very strong connection between the number 11 and the mos.

=== Quartismoid ===
Quartismoid is a name given to [[22L 1s]] by Eliora, derived from the fact that five generators of roughly 33/32 quartertone are equal to 7/6 in the harmonic entropy minimum, and also that the extreme ranges of 22edo and 23edo both support this kind of scale.
