==== 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.
Mosses in a linear family are based on repeated applications of the replacement ruleset L->Ls and s->s on the initial mos, and reaching the nth member of a linear family requires the initial mos have a hard or pseudocollapsed step ratio. The child mos (x+y)L xs is the start of its own linear family, which relates back to the initial mos xL ys if the initial mos has a step ratio that is soft or pseudoequalized.
Names for these families describe a subset of a mos descendant family, and most mos families go by the name of ''(mos name)'' ''linear family'' or ''(mos-prefix)linear family''.
