== Inthar's naming scheme ==

The ~~following~~ (by [[Inthar lus Lăneaf|Inthar]] and others in the Discord) is an attempt at a standardized set of temperament-agnostic names for 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, as well as some of the names (such as "mish" and "mosh") from [[Graham Breed]]'s names below. Some are directly taken from an arbitrary temperament that generates the scale, often because the regular temperament is the only "good" or simple temperament in the range. 1L ns names are intentionally unspecific because the generator can be anywhere from the octave to to 1\(n+1)) and can better be viewed as subsets of larger MOSes, for example [[1L 6s]] as a subset of [[7L 1s]].

The '''TAMOS''' (''Temperament-Agnostic MOS'') naming system by [[Inthar lus Lăneaf|Inthar]] and others in the Discord) is an attempt at a standardized set of temperament-agnostic names for 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, as well as some of the names (such as "mish" and "mosh") from [[Graham Breed]]'s names below.

For referring to intervals in an unspecified MOS, generic names such as "small fifth" or "large second" are typically used; these can be used to unambiguously refer to an interval in any MOS. In case where disambiguation is needed, the generic prefix ''mos-'' can be used, or the specific prefixes and abbreviations listed below.
