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.

==== Use established names if they do not cause confusion ====
==== Use or reference established names if they do not cause confusion ====
Names already in use to refer to mosses are incorporated into TAMNAMS. Examples of such names include ''mosh'', ''tcherepnin'', ''oneirotonic'', ''balzano, antidiatonic'', and ''diatonic.''
Notable non-temperament names are incorporated into TAMNAMS. Examples of such names include ''mosh'' (from Graham Breed's naming scheme), ''tcheretonic'' (in reference to Alexander Tcherepnin's 9-note scale), ''oneirotonic'', ''balzano'', and ''diatonic.''


==== Alter temperament-based names wherever used====
Temperament-based names are generally avoided except where the temperaments in question are exceptionally notable. Names include ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon''; however these reference (in the case of ''hyrulic'') or are heavily abstracted forms of the original temperament names of porcupine, triforce, pajara, echidnoid, and lemba, respectively.
Several mosses are supported by notable temperaments and are named after them, namely ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon''; these reference (in the case of ''hyrulic'') or are heavily abstracted forms of the original temperament names of porcupine, triforce, pajara, echidnoid, and lemba, respectively.


Names ending in the prefix ''-oid'' – namely ''machinoid'', ''sephiroid'', and ''dicoid'' – refer to [[Exotemperament|exotemperaments]] which, when including extreme tunings, effectively cover the entirety of the corresponding mos. Therefore, edos with simple step ratios for that mos will correspond to valid tunings (if not by patent val, then with a small number of warts).

The name "jaric" alludes to a few highly notable and generally inaccurate (with the exception of diaschismic) temperaments that exist in the tuning range of this MOSS. Specifically, notice how the letters and sound of "jaric" has (or is intended to have) a lot of overlap with [[pajara|pa'''jar'''a]], [[diaschismic|diaschism'''ic''']] and [[injera|in'''jer'''a]] (listed in order of increasingly sharp fourths; note that diatonic fourths and 4-jarasteps are equated in jaric, a notable property).

The name "taric" was named based on it being the only octave-tuned TAMNAMS pattern with a [[#Simple step ratios|basic]] tuning of [[18edo]] (because [[7L 4s]] has more than 10 notes and lies outside the named range) and it was also named based on rhyming with jaric (as they share the parent mos [[2L 6s]]).

====Pedal (1L 4s)====
====Pedal (1L 4s)====
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.
