===General reasonings===

The following reasonings cover most TAMNAMS names and should be considered the minimum criteria for naming mosses.

~~====Established names====~~

Notable non-temperament names are incorporated into TAMNAMS if they do not cause confusion, or are given names that reference notable things. Such names include ''mosh'', ''tcheretonic'', ''archaeotonic'', ''oneirotonic'', ''balzano'', ''armotonic'', ''checkertonic'', and ''diatonic.''

~~====Names that describe an interval quality====~~

~~Several mosses are named after~~ an interval or a (diatonic) interval quality. Such names include ''smitonic'', ''gramitonic'', ''semiquartal'', ''subneutralic'', and ''sinatonic'', from "sharp minor third", "grave minor third", "half-fourth", "between supraminor and neutral", and the interval [[sinaic]], respectively.

The name of an interval or a diatonic interval quality can be incorporated into the name of a mos. Such names include ''smitonic'', ''gramitonic'', ''semiquartal'', ''subneutralic'', and ''sinatonic'', from "sharp minor third", "grave minor third", "half-fourth", "between supraminor and neutral", and the interval [[sinaic]], respectively.

~~====Temperament-based names and the ''-oid'' suffix====~~

Temperament-based names should be used ''as a last resort'', and if used should be based on a notable temperament. Most of these names are abstractions of their original temperament names insofar that they refer to a temperament. Such names include ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon''; these reference the temperaments of [[porcupine]], [[triforce]], [[pajara]] (along with [[diaschismic]] and [[injera]]), [[echidna]], and [[lemba]], respectively, with ''jaric'' and ''lemon'' having additional reasonings of their own.

Temperament-based names ending in the suffix ''-oid'' refer to [[Exotemperament|exotemperaments]] (low-accuracy temperametns) whose tuning ranges, when including extreme tunings, cover the entirety of their corresponding mosses. Therefore, edos with simple step ratios (2:1, 3:1, 3:2, etc) for that mos will correspond to valid tunings for that temperament (if not by [[patent val]], then with a small number of [[warts]]). Such names include ''machinoid'', ''dicoid'', and ''sephiroid'', in reference to [[machine]], [[dichotic]]/[[dicot]], and [[sephiroth]] temperaments, respectively; for information regarding these temperaments' tunings, see their specific reasonings under Reasoning for specific names.

Originally, 3L 5s, 6L 2s, 2L 7s, and 4L 5s were called ''sensoid'', ''echidnoid'', ''joanatonic'', and ''orwelloid'', respectively. These names were dropped since the temperaments [[sensi]], [[echidna]], [[joan]], and [[orwell]] were not suitable as exotemperaments, and the ''-oid'' suffix should be reserved for exotemperaments.

===Relationship-based reasonings===

Reasonings that do not fall under any of the general reasonings are likely to have a relationship-based reasoning, where groups of mosses – usually related by sisterhood or parenthood, but not always – are given names based on a common theme.
