''TOOD: Rewrite, merge tamex and other-names pages back here''
 
This is a system for describing and naming mos scales beyond the set of named TAMNAMS mosses. Both [[User:Frostburn]] ([[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS Extension]]) and I have similar systems for how to name mos descendants. However, this page describes several more systems that apply to non-octave mosses.
 
The schemes proposed here are '''not meant to be a definitive naming scheme'''. Rather, it's meant to be a starting point for a naming scheme discussion. Some parts of this page also serves as a sandbox.
 
The scope of this TAMNAMS extension is as follows:
 
# Systematically name mosses beyond the named range by how they're related to TAMNAMS-named mosses. The most common way of doing this is by considering what mosses descend from a TAMNAMS-named mos.
## Secondarily, propose unique names, or provide suggestions for possible names, for certain mosses in case they're worth having distinct names. Some of these names are old names that have been around long enough to be memorable.
### Catalog any names that had already existed or have been proposed elsewhere on the wiki.
# Systematically name mosses regardless of the equave. Such names should be as general as possible. Names for mosses with no more than 10 notes are prioritized.
# Propose names for 3/2 (fifth) and 3/1 (tritave) equivalent mosses, or provide suggestions for possible name ideas. Names for mosses with no more than 10 notes are prioritized.
There are two types of names described in this section:
 
* Systematic names, which use an exiting TAMNAMS name and a step ratio range as a base. This has two subtypes:
** Descriptive names, a multi-word name that describes the mos itself.
** Shortened names, a shortened form of a descriptive name that can be treated as the name of a descendant mos.
* Specific names, unique names to be used to make a mos distinct from its parent or ancestor mos.
 
== Systematic names for mos descendants ==
These names are recommended for mosses whose child mosses exceed 10 notes.

=== Base names ===
To name mosses that have more than 10 notes, names are based on how they're related to another, named mos, based on how many generations apart the two are:
 
* The immediate child of a mos is a chromatic mos.
* The grandchild scale of a mos is an enharmonic mos.
* The great-grandchild scale of a subchromatic mos.
 
{| class="wikitable"

|''(mos-name)''
|''(mos-prefix)''chromatic
|''(mos-prefix)''monic
|''(mos-prefix)''subchromatic
|''(mos-prefix)''descendant
|}
The term '''''k''th descendant''' or '''''(mos-prefix)descendant''''' is used to refer to descendants more than 3 generations away, but can be used generally for any number of generations. To find the number of generations k separating the two mosses, use the following algorithm:
#Let z and w be the number of large and small steps of the parent mos to be found. Assign to z and w the values x and y respectively. Let n = 0, where n is the number of generations away from zL ws.
#Let m1 be equal to max(z, w) and m2 be equal to min(z, w).
#Assign to z the value m2 and w the value m1-m2. Increment n by 1.
#If the sum of z and w is no more than 10, then the parent mos is zL ws and is n generations from the mos descendant xL ys. If not, repeat the process starting at step 2.
=== Hardness modifiers ===
Optionally, a hardness modifier, which describes a parent mos's step ratio range, can be added before a systematic name to make mosses of the same generation more distinct from one another. Hardness modifiers can be added as a range name or a prefix to either the descriptive name or shortened name; however, to make a descriptive name more clear, it's recommended to use a range name rather than a prefix. Mos descendants farther than 3 generations away from a parent mos do not have hardness modifiers.

== Specific names for mosses beyond 10 notes ==
This section outlines proposed names and naming suggestions for mosses beyond 10 notes.
 
=== Extended ''k''-wood names ===
To name mos descendants with more than 5 periods, the names for wood mosses are extended to hexawood, heptawood, octawood, enneawood, and decawood. (This is not too different from Frostburn's proposal.) Names for descendants for these scales follow the same scheme as with other TAMNAMS-named mosses.

== Non-octave extensions (proposed) ==
Since the perfect 5th and tritave (or perfect 12th) are the two most common non-octave equivalence intervals for which there are scales described, mosses for these two intervals should be the most likely to receive TAMNAMS-like names. For mosses with any other equivalence interval, describing nested mos structures, or in situations where the notion of an equivalence interval is unimportant, equave-agnostic names are proposed.
 
=== Equave-agnostic names (proposed) ===
This is a proposed scheme to name mosses regardless of the equivalence interval, These names are meant for nonoctave mosses and nested mos patterns such as with a mos cradle. These names are not final and are open to better suggestions.

Names for these mosses are meant to be as general as possible, starting with established names that are already equave-agnostic: trivial, (an)trial, (an)tetric, (an)pentic, and pedal/manual. Mosses are named in pairs of xL ys and yL xs, where the mos with more small steps than large steps is given the an- prefix, short for anti-; this rule doesn't apply to pentic (2L 3s) and anpentic (3L 2s), where the former is the familiar pentatonic scale.
 
As there is only one pair of 6-note single-period mosses, 5L 1s and 1L 5s, the pair is named '''hexic'''.
 
With 7-note mosses, there are three pairs of mosses, whose names are based on three languages: Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit. The pair 5L 2s and 2L 5s are given the Greek-based name of '''heptic''', as 5L 2s is the familiar diatonic scale. The next pair, 3L 4s and 4L 3s, are given the Latin-based name of '''septenic'''. The last pair, 1L 6s and 6L 1s, are given the Sanskrit-based name of '''saptic''.'''''
 
This pattern is continued for all successive sequences of mosses for each successive note count: 1L ns and nL 1s are given a Sanskrit-based name, the next single-period pair after that are given a Greek-based name, and the next single-period pair after that are given a Latin-based name. The two 8-note pairs are named '''astaic''' (7L 1s and 1L 7s) and '''octic''' (5L 3s and 3L 5s) respectively. The three 9-note pairs are named '''navic''' (8L 1s and 1L 8s), '''ennaic''' (7L 2s and 2L 7s), and '''novemic''' (4L 5s and 5L 4s). Finally the two 10-note pairs are named '''dashic''' (9L 1s and 1L 9s) and '''dekic''' (7L 3s and 3L 7s).
 
11-note mosses require naming five pairs, so this naming scheme stops at 10-note mosses.
 
Since the equivalence interval can be anything, names for multi-period mosses are named as a smaller mos repeated (double, triple, quadruple, etc) some number of times. The prefix and abbreviation of the base mos is preceded by the number of duplications. For example, 2L 2s is double trivial, its prefix is 2triv-, and its abbreviation is 2trv.
 
=== Names for 3/2-equivalent mosses ===

Names are based on information that is is available on their respective pages. Otherwise, possible ideas are given. Only mosses with 10 or fewer notes are prioritized for names.

== Reasoning for names ==
The overall motivation for these names is to give names to closely related mosses and refer to individual mosses as some member of a broader family, rather than name individual mosses.
 
Various terms have been used to similarly describe child mosses, notably the terms haplotonic, albitonic, and chromatic. However, the terms chosen are chromatic, enharmonic, and subchromatic, as they are the closest to being generalizable.

|}The use of p- and m- as prefixes to refer to specific chromatic mosses, as well as the use of f- and s- for enharmonic mosses, has been suggested by various users, but gneralizing the pattern to 3rd mos descendants shows the letters diverging from one another, notably where m- is no longer next to p- and f- and s- are no longer along the extremes. Rather than using these letters, as well as being temperament-agnostic, prefixes based on step ratios are used instead. However, temperament-based prefixes may be used specifically for diatonic descendants as alternatives to the prefixes based on step ratios. For this reason, the former TAMNAMS names m- and p-chromatic are included as specific names.
