The following names are suggested for selected small mosses. These names are optional; interval size names and step ratio names can be combined with conventional ''xL ys'' names. For example: ''21edo is the soft [[5L 3s]] tuning and its major mosthird is a neutral third of size 342.9 cents.''

Some of the names come from older temperament-agnostic mos names, such as names (such as ''mosh'') from [[Graham Breed]]'s [[mos naming#Graham_Breed.27s_naming_scheme|mos names]]. Some are named by taking an arbitrary temperament that generates the scale (preferably in the mos's [[proper]] range) and suffixing ''-oid''. These names have been coined so that mosses can be discussed more independently of RTT temperaments. Names that directly reference RTT temperaments were chosen as a last resort.

1L ns names are not given, except 1L 1s as a special case, because the generator can be anywhere from the octave to to 1\(n+1) and those scales can better be viewed as subsets of larger mosses, for example [[1L 6s]] as a subset of [[7L 1s]] when its generator is in the 7L 1s generator range.
