=== Specific names for mosses beyond 10 notes (proposed) ===
=== Specific names for mosses beyond 10 notes (proposed) ===
These names are intended for notable mosses outside the named range for which its mos descendant name would be insufficient.
These names are intended for notable mosses outside the named range for which its mos descendant name would be insufficient.
==== Former names worth restoring (proposed) ====
At one point, TAMNAMS had tenuously named mosses up to 12 notes. Following reorganization back in August of 2022, many temperament-suggestive names were replaced, and names for 11 and 12-note mosses were dropped. Of those, these names are (in my opinion) worth restoring, either because these names are noteworthy (eg, m- and p-chromatic) or because these temperament-suggestive names are better suited as names for child mosses (eg, 3L 5s was named sensoid).

==Names for mos linear families (proposed)==
 
==== Names for mos linear families (proposed) ====
Rather than name mosses related by the number of large steps they have, where the mosses are of the form xL (nx + y)s and relate back to a mos xL ys (n=0), these mosses can be described as members of a family. An example of such a family is the mos sequence 5L 2s, 5L 7s, 5L 12s, 5L 17s, etc, where each successive mos has 5 more small steps than the last. By extension, the mos 7L 5s (the sister of 5L 7s) is not seen as a member of this linear family even though it's part of the diatonic family as a whole, but rather as the start of its own linear family; put another way, the mosses 5L 2s, 5L 7s, 5L 12s, 5L 17s, etc are a subfamily within the larger diatonic family.
