TAMNAMS uses the following names for octave-equivalent (or tempered-octave) mosses with step counts between 6 and 10. These names are optional; interval size names and step ratio names can be combined with conventional ''xL ys'' names.

~~In addition to names are prefixes~~ and abbreviations~~. These~~ are ~~to be~~ used in place of the prefix ''mos-'' and its abbreviation of ''m-'', as seen in ~~the~~ terms ''mosstep'' and ''mosdegree'', and their abbreviations of ''ms'' and ''md'', respectively. For example, discussion of the intervals and scale degrees of ''oneirotonic'' uses the terms ''oneirosteps'' and ''oneirodegrees'', abbreviated as ''oneis'' and ''oneid'', respectively.

Prefixes and abbreviations for each name are also provided, and can used in place of the prefix ''mos-'' and its abbreviation of ''m-'', as seen in mos-related terms, such as ''mosstep'' and ''mosdegree'', and their abbreviations of ''ms'' and ''md'', respectively. For example, discussion of the intervals and scale degrees of ''oneirotonic'' uses the terms ''oneirosteps'' and ''oneirodegrees'', abbreviated as ''oneis'' and ''oneid'', respectively.

==Extending the named range==

Expanding the named range to include mosses fewer than 6 steps entails naming pentatonic and tetratonic mosses, and smaller. These names are provided for completeness and are chosen to be as general as possible and to avoid bias or flavor, under the reasoning that such mosses are common and broad in tuning that their names can be validly reused in non-octave contexts.

The exception to this are the names ''monowood'' and ''biwood'', which must refer to an octave-equivalent mos pattern of 1L 1s or 2L 2s, respectively.

=== Extending the named range to larger mosses ===

Names for larger mosses are not provided with the expectation that such larger mosses can be seen as an extension of a smaller, TAMNAMS-named mos; that is, by including altered forms of the scale's naturals.

As an example, the C major scale (of 5L 2s) has the nominals C, D, E, F, G, A, and B. Adding C#, D#, F#, G#, and A# to these produces one of twelve modes of either 5L 7s or 7L 5s.

==Reasoning for mos pattern names==

<blockquote>''The following is a rewrite to a section to the TAMNAMS appendix.''</blockquote>The goal of TAMNAMS mos names is to choose memorable but aesthetically neutral names for the most common octave-equivalent mosses that are also agnostic of regular temperament theory. More in-depth reasonings for names are given here.
