[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the temperament-agnostic name '''mosh''' for this scale, adopted from an older [[Graham Breed's MOS naming scheme|MOS naming scheme]] by Graham Breed. The name is a contraction of "mohajira-ish".

===Intervals and degrees===
Names for this scale's intervals (mossteps) and scale degrees (mosdegrees) are based on the number of large and small steps from the root, starting at 0 (0-mosstep and 0-mosdegree) for the unison, per TAMNAMS. Ordinal names, such as mos-1st for the unison, are discouraged for non-diatonic MOS scales.


Being a moment-of-symmetry scale, every [[interval class]] of 3L 4s, except for the unison and octave, has two [[Interval variety|varieties]] – large and small – whose [[Interval quality|relative qualities]] are denoted as major or minor, or augmented, perfect, and diminished for the generators.

===Note names===
For this article, note names are based on diamond-MOS notation, where the naturals JKLMNOP are applied to the step pattern sLsLsLs and the accidentals & (pronounced "am" or "amp") and @ (pronounced "at") are used to represent sharps and flats respectively. Thus, the basic gamut for 3L 4s is the following:
