Specific names for mosses beyond 10 notes (proposed): Sandboxed all existing post-ten mos names

Corrected spellings, clarified scope, added basic placeholder name system

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.

The schemes proposed here are '''not meant to be a definitive naming scheme'''. Rather, it's meant to be a starting point for a naming scheme discussion.

## Secondarily, propose unique names, or provide suggestions for possible 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.

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.

Temporary, placeholder names for 3/2 and 3/1-equivalent mosses may be made by adding prefix sesquit(a)- or trit(a)- respectively to any of the equave-agnostic names.

A name other than "angel" is advised since it directly conflicts with angel temperament.
