=== MOS-based adjectives ===
=== MOS-based adjectives ===
MOS-based names like ''diatonoid'' ''3/2'', ''sephirothish 5/4'' or ''p-chro machinish 7/4'' may be used, as they are also explicit in their ranges. If the MOS name ends in -ic, substitute by -oid (pentic -> pentoid). If the MOS name doesn't end in -ic or -oid, add -oid (lime -> limoid). If the MOS ends in -oid, recover original ending and add -ish, unless it ends in -us, in which case substitute. (sephiroid -> sephiroth -> sephirothish, dicoid -> dicot -> dicotish, helenoid -> helenus -> helenish)

Bolded MOS support a pythagorean generator. Bolded and underlined names are also of a record lowest hardness when that generator is used. Italic names only appear in this article.


The names of the MOSes are coined as follows:
