 == Relating a mos and its descendants ==
-With the exception of mosses with more than 5 periods, all mosses with more than 10 notes can be related to mosses officially named by TAMNAMS. Any such mos can be related to its descendants by treating it as the root of its own scale tree. The descendants of that mos share the following pattern of step counts.
+In the absence of any names, mosses can be instead described by how it relates back to a more familiar mos. In general, all mosses with ''n'' periods relate back to a root mos of ''n''L ''n''s. As it pertains to TAMNAMS-named mosses, any octave-equivalent mos with more than 10 steps and no more than 5 periods is related to some TAMNAMS-named mos.
+In either case, any mos can be related to its descendants by treating it as the root of its own scale tree. For a mos of the form ''x''L ''y''s, its descendantss (children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc) contain the following pattern of step counts.
