'''TAMNAMS''' (read "tame names"; from '''''T'''emperament-'''A'''gnostic '''M'''OS '''NAM'''ing '''S'''ystem''), devised 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. These names have been coined so that MOSes can be discussed more independently of RTT temperaments (while drawing on an established RTT tradition in the xen community which may help make the names more meaningful to more people).

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]].
