Proposal: Naming mosses with more than 10 steps (work-in-progress): wording; added amphisoft/amphihard so soft/hard can be used for three generations of mosses

Proposed terminology: Removed proposed terms per discussions with others (ie, some terms are unambiguous so they don't need mos-)

== Proposed terminology ==
* Mosperiod - the period in which the step pattern for a mos repeats. For single-period scales, the mosperiod is the same as the mosoctave, but for multi-period scales, the mosperiod will repeat more than once. By default, the term refers to a perfect mosperiod, and the corresponding scale degree is perfect.
* Moscomplement - the octave-complement, or possibly equave-complement, for a mos interval.
* Mosgenerator or mosgen - the term can be used to refer to a mosstep interval that is the mos's generators, in situations where it's easier to say than k-mosstep. By default, this term should refer to the bright generator, but the terms ''bright mosgenerator'' and ''dark mosgenerator'' can be used for clarification.
