=== Miracle, 11edo and 21edo ===
All the scales discusses to this point use either smalls and supras or subs and supers, so in the rare instance that we see a S1 or s8, we can infer whether or not it's small/supra or sub/super, probably without even thinking too much about it. Rarely do MOS scales in this scheme require alterations of both 81/80 and 64/63. One important temperament that includes such scales is Miracle. We do not encounter either S1 in the 10 and 11-note MOS:
Miracle[10] 5|4: P1 Sm2 SM2 N3 s4 sA4 S5 N6 sm7 sM7 P8
Miracle[11] 5|5: P1 Sm2 SM2 N3 s4 Sd5 sA4 S5 N6 sm7 sM7 P8
We first see S1 and s8 in the 21-note MOS:
Miracle[21] 10|10: P1 S1 Sm2 N2 SM2 sm3 N3 sM3 s4 P4 Sd5 sA4 P5 S5 Sm6 N6 SM6 sm7 N7 sM7 s8 P8,
the largest MOS scale we have attempted yet to write. S1 in this scale is 64/63. We could maybe guess this from the presence of S5, but it is not obvious. If we need to make it clear when we are referring to  small/supra, we can write their short-hand instead as 'sl' for 'small' and 'SR' for supra. Miracle[21] would then be re-written:
P1 S1 SRm2 N2 SM2 sm3 N3 slM3 s4 P4 SRd5 slA4 P5 S5 SRm6 N6 SM6 sm7 N7 slM7 s8 P8, if complete clarity is needed, otherwise if long-form names are provided there is no need. It looks unwieldy to me and so I would avoid it, but it is there as a possibility, if the intervals of Mavila[21] need be written with only 4 letters allowed for each interval name.
Having encountered 11 and 21-note scales now, and haven't not described 11 and 21edo, I will add these here.
The fifth in 11edo is too flat even for it to be considered to support Mavila. Let's see what happens:
P1 M2 M3 m2 m3 P4 P5 M6 M7 m6 m7 P8.
Adding neutrals gives us our primary interval names for 11edo:
P1 M2 M3 N3 m3 P4 P5 M6 N6 m6 m7 P8.
This is clearly not Mavila, so we don't know what's tempered out, such that we might add our alterations to arrive at a well-ordered interval name set. Let's review the 11-note scales we have encountered above:
Slendric[11] 5|5: P1 S1 SM2 sm3 s4 P4 P5 S5 SM6 sm7 s8 P8
Miracle[11] 5|5: P1 Sm2 SM2 N3 s4 Sd5 sA4 S5 N6 sm7 sM7 P8
From these union of these scales we can see from P4=Sd5 that 135/128, the Mavila comma is tempered out. We apply our Mavila re-spellings to arrive at:
P1 Sm2 Sm3 N3 sM3 P4 P5 Sm6 N6 sM6 sM7 P8 as a well-ordered interval name set.
21edo can be written as three 7edos as it's best fifth is that of 7edo. Since 81/80 is -1 steps in 21edo, we use 64/63 alterations:
P1 S1 sm2 N2 SM2 sm3 N3 SM3 s4 P4 SA4 sd5 P5 S5 sm6 N6 SM6 sm7 N7 SM7 d8 P8.
Using the available conversion sm = Sm (and therefor SM = sM), we can confirm that 21edo supports Miracle and Whitewood temperaments. This is left as an exercise for the the inspired reader.
=== 6edo ===
Though 6edo is normally only ever considered as a subset of 12edo, given that we have encountered 6-note MOS I'll give it a red hot go.
Our P5 and P4 in 6edo is our half-octave, 4-5, so 9/8 is tempered out and our chromatic scale only covers 2edo: P1/M2/M3/A4 m2/m3/P4/4-5/P5/M6/M7 m6/m7/P8. If we want to write 6edo is a well-ordered way, we might choose:
P1 SM2 sm3 P4/4-5/P5 SM6 sm7 P8.
Writing s4 and S5 instead of sm3 and SM6 would give us Slendric[6] 3|2.
What of Augmented[6] 1|0 (3): P1 Sm3 sM3 P5 Sm6 sM7 P8?
This tells us that in 6edo 81/80 is mapped to -2 steps of 6edo. This is not a problem, as we can use alterations of 64/63, mapped to 1 step, though I don't see why anyone would want to think of 6edo in this way.
The primary interval names for the remaining trivial edos are trivially derived and are given along with all those described so far in the section below.
