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.
TAMNAMS uses the following names for octave-equivalent (or tempered-octave) mosses with step counts between 6 and 10, called the ''named range''. These names are optional, and conventional ''xL ys'' names can be used instead.


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.

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 smaller mosses). 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.

[[Sephiroth]] is the 3&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. 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.

[[Dicot family#Dichotic|Dichotic]] is the 7&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 7+7=14cd, 10+10=20e, 17+7=24cd, and 17+10=27ce.
This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 7, 10 and 17 }} equal divisions, with non-patent val tunings including (but not limited to) 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 tunings within the central spectrum of 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.
