=== Name-specific reasonings ===

==== Pedal (1L 4s) ====

Pedals are operated with feet, which have one large toe and four small toes. Also comes from words like "bipedal", where in TAMNAMS, "bipedal" would literally mean a pedal scale with a period equal to half of some chosen interval, although such a scale would have either two right feet or two left feet depending on orientation chosen. If you think "car"/"vehicle" when you think "pedal" and don't think (or want to think) much about feet then you can think about "[[beep]]ing" (as [[beep]] is the 7-limit 4&5 exotemperament). Because this name relies so heavily and fundamentally on there being 1 large and 4 small steps per period, it is appropriate to generalise for any size of period you would want. In that regard, same goes for manual, pentic and anpentic.

==== Onyx (1L 6s) ====

"1Ln-ic's" and "nL1-ic's (like, the -ic suffix applied to MOSS names, collectivised for 1Lns and nL1s) sounds like "one-el-en-ics" or "en-el-one-ics" which abbreviated sort of sounds like "one-ics" => "onyx". Then "onyx" sounds sort of like "one-six". Furthermore the onyx mineral comes in many colours and types, which seems fitting given this is the parent scale for a wide variety of MOSSes; specifically of interest being 7L 1s (pine), 8L 1s (subneutralic) and 9L 1s (sinatonic). Finally, the name "onyx" is also supposed to be vaguely reminiscent of "anti-archaeotonic" as "chi" (the greek letter) is written like an "x" (this is related to why "christmas" is abbreviated sometimes as "X-mas") and other than that, the letters "o" and "n" and their sounds are also present in "archaeotonic", and "x" is vaguely reminiscent of negation and multiplication. There is also something like a "y" sound in "archaeotonic" in the "aeo" part (depending partially on your pronounciation).

==== Jaric (2L 8s) ====

This name alludes to a few highly notable and generally inaccurate (with the exception of diaschismic) temperaments that exist in the tuning range of this MOSS. Specifically, notice how the letters and sound of "jaric" has (or is intended to have) a lot of overlap with [[pajara]], [[diaschismic]] and [[injera]] (listed in order of increasingly sharp fourths; note that diatonic fourths and 4-jarasteps are equated in jaric, a notable property).

==== Taric (8L 2s) ====

Taric was named based on it being the only octave-tuned TAMNAMS pattern with a [[#Simple step ratios|basic]] tuning of [[18edo]] (because [[5L 6s]] has more than 10 notes so is out of the scope of TAMNAMS, although not necessarily out of the scope of extensions) and it was also named based on rhyming with jaric (as they share the parent mos [[2L 6s]]).

==== Sephiroid (3L 7s) ====

[[Sephiroth]] is the 3&10 temperament in the 2.5.7.11.13.17.21 subgroup with commas including 65/64, 85/84, 221/220, 105/104, 169/168, 170/169, 221/220, 273/272, 275/273.

Its list of patent val EDO tunings is {{ val list | 3, 10, 13, 16, 23, 26 }} with non-patent val tunings including 6eg, 7e*, 19eg, 20e, 29g, 32egq, 33ce, 36c.

* Extreme tunings even occasionally go outside of this range like with 7e, but this would never be considered a good tuning.

(Note that ''q'' in the above is a placeholder symbol meaning that the generator 21 is warted.)

Note therefore how practically a full range of tunings is covered both in breadth and depth.

==== Dicoid (7L 3s) ====

[Dicot family#Dichotic|Dichotic]] is the 7&10 temerament in the 11-limit with commas including 25/24, 45/44, 55/54, 56/55, 64/63 and is an extension of the 5-limit exotemperament [[dicot]] which tempers 25/24, equating 5/4 and 6/5 into a neutral third sized interval, which is the generator. To help justify using these temperament for inspiration for the name, note that:

Its list of patent val EDO tunings is {{ val list | 7, 10, 17 }} with non-patent val tunings including 14cd, 20e, 24cd, 27ce.

Note there are many more warted tunings than this with even more extreme tunings, which makes it reasonable to associate the exotemperament with the range of vaguely saner tunings.

==== On the term ''diatonic'' ====

In TAMNAMS, ''diatonic'' exclusively refers to 5L 2s. Other diatonic-based scales (specifically with 3 step sizes or more), such as [[Zarlino]], [[blackdye]] and [[diasem]], are called ''[[Detempering|detempered]]'' (if the philosophy is [[RTT]]-based) or ''deregularized/detuned'' (RTT-agnostic) ''diatonic scales''. The adjectives ''diatonic-like'' or ''diatonic-based'' may also be used to refer to diatonic-based scales, depending on what's contextually the most appropriate.
