== Non-octave extensions (proposed) ==
== Non-octave extensions (proposed) ==
This section describes naming systems for mosses whose equivalence interval is not the octave or for which the notion of an equivalence interval is unimportant.
Since the perfect 5th and tritave (or perfect 12th) are the two most common non-octave equivalence intervals for which there are scales described, mosses for these two intervals should be the most likely to receive TAMNAMS-like names. For mosses with any other equivalence interval, describing nested mos structures, or in situations where the notion of an equivalence interval is unimportant, equave-agnostic names are proposed.
 
Names for tritave and fifth-equivalent mosses are assumed to be the same name as their equave-agnostic equivalent, unless a fitting name is already given.

Since the equivalence interval can be anything, names for multi-period mosses are named as a smaller mos repeated (double, triple, quadruple, etc) some number of times. 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.
