The '''TAMNAMS''' (''Temperament-Agnostic MOS NAMing System''), by [[Inthar lus Lăneaf|Inthar]] and others on the XA 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]].

TAMNAMS also comes with a set of prefixes and abbreviations for each MOS, to denote interval classes within the MOS. In case where disambiguation is needed, TAMNAMS uses the generic prefix ''mos-'', or the specific prefixes and abbreviations listed below.
