Pedals are operated with feet, which have one large toe and four small toes. Also comes from words like "bipedal", where in TAMNAMS, "bipedal" would literally mean a pedal scale with a period equal to half of some chosen interval, although such a scale would have either two right feet or two left feet depending on orientation chosen. If you think "car"/"vehicle" when you think "pedal" and don't think (or want to think) much about feet then you can think about "[[beep]]ing" (as [[beep]] is the 7-limit 4&5 exotemperament). Because this name relies so heavily and fundamentally on there being 1 large and 4 small steps per period, it is appropriate to generalise for any size of period you would want. In that regard, same goes for manual, pentic and anpentic.

====Malic (2L 4s), citric (4L 2s), lemon (6L 4s), and lime (4L 6s)====

The names for ~~these mosses are derived~~ from Latin ''malus'' and ''citrus'', meaning 'apple' and 'citrus', respectively. Apples have concave ends, whereas lemons and limes – both types of citrus fruits – have convex ends. Both are ubiquitous foods, justifying their use for these fairly small mosses.

The names for 2L 4s and 4L 2s come from Latin ''malus'' and ''citrus'', meaning 'apple' and 'citrus', respectively. Apples have concave ends, whereas lemons and limes – both types of citrus fruits – have convex ends. Both are ubiquitous foods, justifying their use for these fairly small mosses.

Additionally, "citric" is the parent mos of 6L 4s and 4L 6s, named after the citrus fruits "lemon" and "lime", respectively, under the reasoning that lemons are larger than limes, as are the step size ranges of 6L 4s compared to that of 4L 6s.
