[[User:IlL|Inthar]] suggests a standardized set of temperament-agnostic names for commonly used octave-equivalent MOS scales of sizes between 6 and 10. Some of these come from temperament-agnostic MOS names coined by [[Igliashon Jones]] and others. Some are directly taken from temperament-based names for scales, often because the regular temperament is the only "good" or simple temperament in the range. 1L ns scales are not included since they aren't specific enough to define any musical framework (generator can be anywhere from 1\1 to 1\(n+1)).
