 == Reasoning for names ==
-The overall motivation for these names is to give names to closely related mosses and refer to individual mosses as some member of a broader family, rather than name individual mosses.
+The overall motivation for these names is to give names to closely related mosses and refer to individual mosses as some member of a broader family, rather than name individual mosses. Various terms have been used to similarly describe child mosses, but not under a temperament-agnostic viewpoint.

-The names for the first three generations of mosses are based on existing terms. These terms are open to further changes to make pronunciation easier.

+!Source of terms
-* The phrase ''chromatic mos'' is based on former names for the child mosses of diatonic (5L 2s) - p-chromatic for 5L 7s and m-chromatic for 7L 5s - and has seen use on the wiki to refer the children of non-diatonic mosses.
+!Grandparent (2nd predecessor)
-* The phrase ''enharmonic mos'' is based off of Discord discussions on how to name grandchild mosses. This has also seen use on the wiki to refer to the grandchild mosses of 5L 2s.
+!Parent (1st predecessor)
-* The phrase ''subchromatic mos'' is based on a term coined by Mike Battaglia to describe a scale that is more chromatic than either chromatic or enharmonic. These terms also line up with [[Diatonic, Chromatic, Enharmonic, Subchromatic|this page]], which describes the progression of a diatonic scale's (or mos's) progression of child mosses.
+!Mos
+!Child (1st descendant)
-The format of adding a mos's prefix to the terms descendant, chromatic, enharmonic, and subchromatic is best applied to mosses that have no more than three periods. With mosses that descend directly from nL ns mosses especially (4L 4s and above), this is to keep names from being too complicated (eg, ''chromatic (number)-wood'' instead of ''(number)-woodchromatic'').

 Various people have suggested the use of p- and m- as prefixes to refer to specific chromatic mosses, as well as the use of f- and s- for enharmonic mosses. Generalizing the pattern to 3rd mos descendants shows the letters diverging from one another, notably where m- is no longer next to p- and f- and s- are no longer along the extremes. Rather than using these letters, as well as being temperament-agnostic, prefixes based on step ratios are used instead. However, temperament-based prefixes may be used specifically for diatonic descendants as alternatives to the prefixes based on step ratios.
