{{Todo|Todo=Separate left-hand and right-hand mode tables for chiral scales; establish mode names for several scales}}
TERNAMS (pronounced /tərneɪmz/, ''TER-names'') is a system meant to provide tuning-agnostic names for MV3 ternary scales.  The name "TERNAMS" is a portmanteau of "ternary" and "names," specifically chosen by comparison to [[TAMNAMS]].

=== Dhembric (Chiral 4L1M4s) ===
The name "Dhembric" was suggested by [[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]] as a reference to [[User:Unque/Dhembrwood|Dhembrwood]], a temperament which utilizes both the left- and right-hand variations of this scale; as such, the names of its modes can be inherited from the Dhembrwood[9] mode names (as opposed to Dhembrwood[9], whose modes may be confused for those of Orbital).  This scale can be collapsed to form [[5L 4s|Semiquartal]] (L = M), [[4L 5s|Gramitonic]] (M = s), or [[4L 1s|Manual]] (s = 0).

=== Diasem (Chiral 5L2M2s) ===
The chiral [[Diasem]] scale is named as a portmanteau of [[5L 2s|'''Dia'''tonic]] and [[5L 4s|'''Semi'''quartal]]; it can be collapsed to form [[7L 2s|Superdiatonic]] (L = M), Semiquartal (M = s) and Diatonic (s = 0); its nine modes can be named with respect to the seven modes of the Diatonic scale; the Dorisem and Cretisem modes both collapse to Dorian, and the Trojisem mode is ambiguous between Aeolian and Mixolydian.
