=== Extending the named range to smaller mosses ===

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 step patterns are common and broad in tuning that their names can be validly reused in non-octave contexts.

Expanding the named range to include mosses fewer than 6 steps entails naming pentatonic and tetratonic mosses, and smaller.

These mosses require that some small integer multiple of the period is equal to an octave, under the reasoning that such step patterns are common and broad in tuning that their names can be validly reused in non-octave contexts. As a result, these names are chosen to be as general as possible, so as to avoid bias or flavor.

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. Additionally, the name ''monowood'' is recommended over ''trivial'' to refer to an octave-equivalent 1L 1s scale.

=== 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, both of which are child (or daughter) mosses of 5L 2s.
