Suggested changes for mos pattern names: Read the "treatise of the sephirate modes" and realized that "sephirotonic" is probably a better mosname suggestion.

The choice of names are not perfect and some may have issues. Some names have multiple suggestions. This section is meant to start a discussion on alternate names. (This section also needs some rework.)

|The reference to [[sephiroth]] is made even more indirect. As a bonus, "sept" (meaning seven) may also refer to the 7 small steps of the mos pattern.
|Rather than alluding to [[sephiroth]] temperament, the name should allude to Peter Kosmorsky's ''[https://ia800703.us.archive.org/12/items/TractatumDeModiSephiratorum/ModiSephiratorum.pdf Tractatum de Modi Sephiratorum]'' (A Treatise on the Modes of the Sephirates), whose name ultimately comes from the [[wikipedia:Sefirot|sefirot]]. The document describes several edos that are said to contain the "modi sephiratorum" (sephirate modes). Therefore, instead of the name "sephiroid", suggesting that the mos pattern resembles the modi sephiratorum, the mos pattern ''is'' the modi sephiratorum, hence the mosname "sephirotonic".
|May falsely suggest the scale is 7 notes, when it's actually 10 notes.
Other reasons:
 
* There is also a YouTube [https://youtu.be/RRdwAgNqG_E video] that refers to the ''mos pattern'' 3L 7s as the "sephiratorum scale".
* "Septonic" was a previous proposal that had its own issues, such as incorrectly suggesting a 7-note scale and ignoring documentation about the scale itself (linked above).
|May still reference sephiroth temperament. For a more indirect reference, an alternate transliteration of סְפִירוֹת (sefirot) may be used instead.
New name is longer than the old name.
