* I gave names for the interval prefixes and interval name abbreviations for [[5L 7s]] (p-chromatic) and [[7L 5s]] (m-chromatic). For [[7L 5s]] I picked "chrome" as it is strongly befitting of meantone as meantone does the 7-limit efficiently, elegantly and colourfully, and because its a contraction of "chromatic" and the "me" in "meantone". Pronounced like the word. For [[5L 7s]], in contrast with [[5L 7s]] which is mellow and harmonic, [[5L 7s]] is sharp and active, perhaps like fire, hence I picked "pyr-" from "pyro" and from "[py]thago[r]ean", with the letters "pyr" of course also being for "[p]a[r]a[py]th", "su[p]e[rpy]th" and "ult[r]a[py]yth".

* Similarly to how I made an exception for the 1Lns scale form of [[1L 6s]], I'm also making an exception to include the multiMOSS of [[6L 2s]] as [[~~Diaschismic_family#Echidna|~~echidna]] (from which the MOSS derives its name) is a strong and important temperament to me with a period of half an octave and where one generator is both 11/10 and 9/7 depending on from which direction you view it, as 11/10 * 9/7 is extremely close to half an octave, the period for this MOSS scale. ("MultiMOSS" stands for "multi-period Moment Of Symmetry Scale".) '''However,''' this would not be included if I were to have this as "the semi-official [[TAMNAMS]] minimal MOSS name list", because this is a true exception to a lot of the design principles behind choosing this set of MOSSes to name and recognise as important.
