The goal of TAMNAMS mos names is to choose memorable names for the most common octave-equivalent mosses. Generally, names should befit the mos they're describing ''no matter what temperaments support it'', allowing them to be discussed agnostically of any RTT-related contexts.
The goal of TAMNAMS mos names is to choose memorable names for the most common octave-equivalent mosses. Generally, names should befit the mos they're describing ''no matter what temperaments support it'', allowing them to be discussed agnostically of any RTT-related contexts.


Names are given to mosses that are the most likely to be used by musicians. As such, TAMNAMS primarily provides names for mosses within the range of 6 to 10 steps (or 2 to 10 steps, when including the extended named range for mosses with 6 steps or fewer). This range is chosen to avoid naming large mosses for the sake of naming, though some mosses outside the named range have been given unique, though possibly idiosyncratic, names of their own.

==== Temperament-based names ====
==== Temperament-based names ====
Temperament-based names should be used as a last resort and such names should be abstracted from the original temperament names. Such names include ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon''; these reference the temperaments of porcupine, triforce, pajara, echidnoid, and lemba, respectively.
Temperament-based names should be used as a last resort and such names should be abstracted from the original temperament names. Such names include ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon''; these reference notable temperaments of porcupine, triforce, pajara (along with diaschismic and injera), echidnoid, and lemba, respectively.


Temperament-based names ending in the prefix ''-oid'' – namely ''machinoid'', ''sephiroid'', and ''dicoid'' – refer to [[Exotemperament|low-accuracy temperaments]] (exotemperaments) whose tuning ranges, when including extreme tunings, cover the entirety of their corresponding mosses. Therefore, edos with simple step ratios for that mos will correspond to valid tunings for that temperament (if not by patent val, then with a small number of warts). For more information, see their specific reasonings under <section>.

[[Machine]] is the 5&amp;6 temperament in the 2.9.7.11 subgroup with a comma list of 64/63 and 99/98.
[[Machine]] is the 5&amp;6 temperament in the 2.9.7.11 subgroup with a comma list of 64/63 and 99/98.


This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 5, 6, 11, 12, 16, 17, 22, 23, 27, 28 and 33 }} equal divisions, with non-patent val tunings including 5+5=10e, 5+10e+12=21be, 5+5+5+5+6=26qe, which are mentioned here for demonstrating virtual completeness of the tuning range, and the unusually large [[33edo]] tuning being to show [[11edo]]'s strength as a tuning.
This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 5, 6, 11, 12, 16, 17, 22, 23, 27, 28 and 33 }} equal divisions, many of which correspond to both simple tunings (L:s = 2:1, 3:1, 3:2, etc) and degenerate tunings (L:s = 1:1 or 1:0) for 5L 1s. Non-patent val tunings include 5+5=10e, 5+10e+12=21be, 5+5+5+5+6=26qe; these are mentioned here for demonstrating virtual completeness of the tuning range, as is 33edo to show 11edo's strength as a tuning.
====Sephiroid (3L 7s)====
====Sephiroid (3L 7s)====
[[Sephiroth]] is the 3&amp;10 temperament in the 2.5.11.13.17.21 subgroup with commas including 65/64, 85/84, 105/104, 169/168, 170/169, 221/220, 273/272, 275/273.
[[Sephiroth]] is the 3&amp;10 temperament in the 2.5.11.13.17.21 subgroup with commas including 65/64, 85/84, 105/104, 169/168, 170/169, 221/220, 273/272, 275/273.


This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 3, 10, 13, 16, 23 and 26 }} equal divisions, with non-patent val tunings including 6eg, 7e*, 19eg, 20e, 29g, 32egq, 33ce, 36c.
This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 3, 10, 13, 16, 23 and 26 }} equal divisions, with non-patent val tunings including 6eg, 7e, 19eg, 20e, 29g, 32egq, 33ce, 36c. Like with that of 5L 1s, these represent both simple and degenerate tunings for 3L 7s. Extreme tunings, such as 7e, may lie outside the central spectrum, although such tunings are generally not considered good tunings.  
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Extreme tunings even occasionally go outside of this range like with 7e, but this would never be considered a good tuning.
 
(Note that ''q'' in the above is a placeholder symbol meaning that the generator 21 is warted.)
 
Note therefore how practically a full range of tunings is covered both in breadth and depth.
====Dicoid (7L 3s) ====
====Dicoid (7L 3s) ====
[[Dicot family#Dichotic|Dichotic]] is the 7&amp;10 temerament in the 11-limit with commas including 25/24, 45/44, 55/54, 56/55, 64/63 and is an extension of the 5-limit exotemperament [[dicot]] which tempers 25/24, equating 5/4 and 6/5 into a neutral third sized interval, which is the generator. To help justify using these temperament for inspiration for the name, note that:
[[Dicot family#Dichotic|Dichotic]] is the 7&amp;10 temperament in the 11-limit with commas including 25/24, 45/44, 55/54, 56/55, 64/63. This is an extension of the 5-limit exotemperament [[dicot]] which tempers 25/24, equating 5/4 and 6/5 into a neutral third sized interval, which is the generator.


This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 7, 10 and 17 }} equal divisions, with non-patent val tunings including 14cd(=7+7), 20e(=10+10), 24cd(=17+7), 27ce(=17+10).
This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 7, 10 and 17 }} equal divisions, with non-patent val tunings including 7+7=14cd, 10+10=20e, 17+7=24cd, and 17+10=27ce.


Note there are many more warted tunings than this with even more extreme tunings, which makes it reasonable to loosely associate the exotemperament with the range of vaguely saner tunings.

====Armotonic (7L 2s)====
====Armotonic (7L 2s)====
The name "superdiatonic" has seen some precedent of use on the Xen Wiki to refer to the mos pattern 7L 2s, so is accepted as ''a'' possible name, but "armotonic" is preferred due to its clarity as "superdiatonic" could reasonably be confused as describing sharp-fifth diatonic scales. This mos is part of a series of mos patterns (5+2k)L 2s, which starts with diatonic (5L 2s, k=0) and superdiatonic (7L 2s, k=1), hence the reasoning for that name; like 5L 2s, 7L 2s is also a fifth-generated scale and has a structure similar to diatonic in some ways, but with more large steps. Because of the ambiguity, the name "armotonic", in reference to Armodue theory, is TAMNAMS' recommended name, but "superdiatonic" is allowed in contexts where it's truly unambiguous if the writer prefers it.
