Simplified names for multi-period equave-agnostic mosses; clarified description of page

This is a system for describing and naming mos scales beyond the set of named TAMNAMS mosses. Both [[User:Frostburn]] ([[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS Extension]]) and I have similar systems, with the main difference here being how mosses can be named any number of generations away from a named mos.
This is a system for describing and naming mos scales beyond the set of named TAMNAMS mosses. Both [[User:Frostburn]] ([[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS Extension]]) and I have similar systems for how to name mos descendants, but this page describes additional naming systems that apply to mosses with non-octave equivalence intervals.

=== 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 (as it currently concerns octave-equivalent and tempered-octave scales) is not known. These names are not final.

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 and are open to better suggestions.
 
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.

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).

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.
Names for multi-period mosses are based on the name of a smaller, base mos preceded by the number of times it's duplicated (double, triple, quadruple, etc). The prefix and abbreviation of the base mos is preceded by the number of duplications. For example, 2L 2s is double trivial, its prefix is 2triv-, and its abbreviation is 2trv.
