The [[TAMNAMS]] system | The [[TAMNAMS]] system suggests the name '''oneirotonic''' (/oʊnaɪrəˈtɒnɪk/ ''oh-ny-rə-TON-ik'' or /ənaɪrə-/ ''ə-ny-rə-'') or 'oneiro' for short. The name ''oneirotonic'' (from Greek ''oneiros'' 'dream') is coined after the Dreamlands in H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle mythos. | ||
'Father' is sometimes also used to denote 5L 3s, but it's a misnomer, as [[father]] is technically an abstract [[regular temperament]], not a generator range. A more correct way to say it would be 'father[8]' or 'father octatonic'. "Father" is also vague because optimal generators for it also generate [[3L 2s]]. | 'Father' is sometimes also used to denote 5L 3s, but it's a misnomer, as [[father]] is technically an abstract [[regular temperament]], not a generator range.
