== How to relate a mos and its descendants ==
This page describes TAMNAMS-like names applied to octave-equivalent mosses with more than 10 notes, as well as non-octave mosses (fifth and tritave equivalent).
 
The names described in this section may be applied to mosses with very little usage, due to having a high step count or being generally unfamiliar. These names may only find usage by a single person or a small group and thus have limited acceptance by the community. These names may also be subject to change as the usage of these names or the scales they refer becomes more accepted by the community.
 
== Relating a mos and its descendants ==
In the absence of any mos names, a mos can be related to its descendants by treating the parent mos as the root of its own scale tree. The descendants of that mos share the following pattern of step counts.
