=== Names for mos descendants with more than 5 periods ===
=== Extended ''k''-wood names ===
To name mos descendants with more than 5 periods, the names for wood mosses are extended to hexawood, heptawood, octawood, enneawood, and decawood. (This is not too different from Frostburn's proposal.) Names for descendants for these scales follow the same scheme as with other TAMNAMS-named mosses.

=== Equave-agnostic names (proposed) ===
=== Equave-agnostic names (proposed) ===
This is a proposed scheme to name mosses regardless of the equivalence interval, either for nonoctave mosses or nested mos patterns such as with a mos cradle. Whether such a proposal is within the scope of TAMNAMS (since it currently concerns octave-equivalent and tempered-octave scales) is not known.
This is a proposed scheme to name mosses regardless of the equivalence interval, either for nonoctave mosses or nested mos patterns such as with a mos cradle. Whether such a proposal is within the scope of TAMNAMS (as it currently concerns octave-equivalent and tempered-octave scales) is not known. These names are not final.


Names for these mosses are meant to be as general as possible, starting with established names that are already equave-agnostic: trivial, (an)trial, (an)tetric, (an)pentic, and pedal/manual. Mosses are named in pairs of xL ys and yL xs, where the mos with more small steps than large steps is given the an- prefix, short for anti-; this rule doesn't apply to pentic (2L 3s) and anpentic (3L 2s), where the former is the familiar pentatonic scale.
Names for multi-period mosses (''nx''L ''ny''s) are based on the name of a smaller mos duplicated some number of times. This is accomplished by adding the Greek prefix such as diplo-, triplo-, or tetraplo- to the base name.
 
As there is only one pair of 6-note single-period mosses, 5L 1s and 1L 5s, the pair is named '''hexic'''.
 
With 7-note mosses, there are three pairs of mosses, whose names are based on three languages: Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit. The pair 5L 2s and 2L 5s are given the Greek-based name of '''heptic''', as 5L 2s is the familiar diatonic scale. The next pair, 3L 4s and 4L 3s, are given the Latin-based name of '''septenic'''. The last pair, 1L 6s and 6L 1s, are given the Sanskrit-based name of '''saptic''.'''''
 
This pattern is continued for all successive sequences of mosses for each successive note count: 1L ns and nL 1s are given a Sanskrit-based name, the next single-period pair after that are given a Greek-based name, and the next single-period pair after that are given a Latin-based name. The two 8-note pairs are named '''astaic''' (7L 1s and 1L 7s) and '''octic''' (5L 3s and 3L 5s) respectively. The three 9-note pairs are named '''navic''' (8L 1s and 1L 8s), '''ennaic''' (7L 2s and 2L 7s), and '''novemic''' (4L 5s and 5L 4s). Finally the two 10-note pairs are named '''dashic''' (9L 1s and 1L 9s) and '''dekic''' (7L 3s and 3L 7s).
 
Only mosses with no more than 10 notes are named this way. Not only does this mirror the current convention of naming mosses up to 10 notes, but because starting at 11 notes, three languages are no longer enough to name these mosses. Multi-period mosses are not given their own names, but are represented as duplications of a smaller mos pattern.

Names for multi-period mosses (''nx''L ''ny''s) are based on the name of a smaller mos with a Greek quantitative prefix such as diplo-, triplo-, or tetraplo- added. The base name's prefix and abbreviation are similarly modified. Duplications up to 5 are necessary for feature parity with current TAMNAMS; duplications up to 12 are for feature parity with extended ''k''-wood mos names.
