→Suggested changes for mos pattern names (work-in-progress): Reordered suggestions by personal level of justifiability (which is to say I grew less fond of renaming the -oid mosses); reorganized rules for naming mosses.

|Shorter name. An indirect reference to [[luna]] temperament; "selene" is Greek for "moon". The name "selenite" follows the same pattern of 1L 6s being named after a type of gemstone.
| rowspan="4" |Shorter names. These names follow in the same spirit as "onyx" for 1L 6s in the following ways:
|Pun. Selenite is a mineral, not a type of gemstone.
 
* "Selenite" is a mineral and is Greek for "moon", indirectly referencing [[luna]] temperament.
* "Spinel" contains the word "pine", referencing its sister mos of "pine".
* Depending on pronunciation, the word "agate" may rhyme with "eight".
* Depending on pronunciation, the word "olivine" may rhyme with "nine".
| rowspan="4" |Pun. Differences in pronunciation may ruin the joke. Selenite is a mineral, not a gemstone.

| rowspan="2" |From "[[pelog]]" and "[[armodue]]". The proposed names are to make both scales more distinct from diatonic. These names must be changed together if possible. The use of the term "superdiatonic" to refer to 7L 2s was misattributed to armodue theorists, as the term cannot be found anywhere on the armodue website.

The use of the term "superdiatonic" to refer to 7L 2s was misattributed to armodue theorists, as the term cannot be found anywhere on the armodue website.
The use of the term "superdiatonic" is also used across the wiki in contexts that do not suggest the mos 7L 2s, mainly to describe a child mos of a mos. In TAMNAMS-related contexts, the term "chromatic" is used for this situation.
The use of the term "superdiatonic" is used to refer to both a chromatic extension of an albitonic (diatonic-like) scale and the mos 7L 2s, depending on context. In TAMNAMS-related contexts, the term "chromatic" is used for the former.
| rowspan="2" |The connection to diatonic may be beneficial to some musicians. Additionally, the mode names commonly used for both mosses are those from diatonic (lydian, ionian, etc) with the anti- and super- prefixes added. Despite misattribution, the name "superdiatonic" commonly refers to 7L 2s.
