''Reasoning: what if TAMNAMS had a formal section for naming mos modes, the same with mos names?''

The easiest way to name the modes of a mos, without having to memorize any names, is to refer to them by their [[Modal UDP notation|UDP]], ~~notated as ''u''|''p'', where ''u'' is the number of bright generators stacked ''above'' the tonic, ''d'' is the number of bright generators stacked ''~~below~~'' the tonic, and "|" is pronounced as "pipe". The full name of a mos's mode is '''xL ys u|p'''. The name of the mos itself may also be used instead of its xL ys form.~~

The easiest way to name the modes of a mos, without having to memorize any names, is to refer to them by their [[Modal UDP notation|UDP]], described below:

For a multi-period ~~mos~~ with p periods, the UDP of is notated as ''up''|''dp''(''p''). Since there are generators being stacked above and below every mosperiod - not just the tonic - there are in total ''u times p'' and ''d times p'' generators being stacked above and below their respective starting pitches. The full name in this case is '''xL ys up|dp(p)'''.

* For single-period mosses, the UDP is notated as ''u''|''p'', where ''u'' is the number of bright generators stacked ''above'' the tonic, ''d'' is the number of bright generators stacked ''below'' the tonic, and "|" is pronounced as "pipe". The full name of a mos's mode is '''xL ys u|p'''.

* For multi-period mosses with ''p'' periods, the UDP of is notated as ''up''|''dp''(''p''). Since there are generators being stacked above and below every mosperiod - not just the tonic - there are in total ''u times p'' and ''d times p'' generators being stacked above and below their respective starting pitches. The full name in this case is '''xL ys up|dp(p)'''.

* In either case, the name of the mos itself may also be used instead of its xL ys form.

This section's running example is 5L 3s, whose brightest mode is LLsLLsLs.
