→Suggested changes for mos pattern names (work-in-progress): Realized the proposed gemstone 1L ns names no longer fit the prior aesthetic for other name changes, so removed them

|Rhymes perfectly with jaric and taric. May also mean "basic -aric", as this mos with a basic step ratio (L:s=2:1) cannot produce jaric or taric, or rather, produces both but equalized.

=== Other aesthetic name changes (work-in-progress) ===
* Antipentic -> anpentic; follows names of other small mosses where an- is shortened to anti-.
These are additional changes that I feel are less likely to be implemented, but made to convey additional meaning through a name's suffixes; if anything, these changes are merely for the ''aesthetic''. These changes are built upon proposed name changes from the previous section.
