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. However, this page describes several more systems that apply to non-octave mosses. | This is a system for describing and naming mos scales beyond the set of named TAMNAMS mosses.

The scope of this TAMNAMS extension is as follows: | |||
# Systematically name mosses beyond the named range by how they're related to TAMNAMS-named mosses. The most common way of doing this is by considering what mosses descend from a TAMNAMS-named mos. | |||
## Secondarily, propose unique names for certain mosses in case they're worth having distinct names. Some of these names are old names that have been around long enough to be memorable. | |||
# Systematically name mosses for non-octave equaves, namely fifth and tritave-equivalent mosses. | |||
# Systematically name mosses regardless of the equave. Such names should be as general as possible. | |||
