To denote interval classes within the MOS, TAMNAMS uses the generic prefix ''mos-'', or the specific prefixes and abbreviations listed under "MOS pattern names". Usage example: ''In 31edo's ultrasoft [[mosh]] scale, the perfect mosthird (aka Pmosh3rd) is a neutral third and the major mosfifth (aka Lmosh5th) is a perfect fifth.''

Alternatively, the terminology "(major/minor/etc.) ''k''-shift" can be used where ''k'' is number of steps (unison = 0); so a mos3rd is a 2-shift.


TAMNAMS uses the following modifiers to denote different interval sizes within a MOS interval class:
