'''TAMNAMS''' (read "tame names"; from '''''T'''emperament-'''A'''gnostic '''M'''os '''NAM'''ing '''S'''ystem''), devised by the XA Discord in 2021, is a system of temperament-agnostic names for [[Octave equivalence|octave-equivalent]] [[moment of symmetry]] scales, their intervals ~~and~~ their associated generator ranges, and the ratios describing the ~~proportion~~ of large and small steps.

'''TAMNAMS''' (read "tame names"; from '''''T'''emperament-'''A'''gnostic '''M'''os '''NAM'''ing '''S'''ystem''), devised by the XA Discord in 2021, is a system of temperament-agnostic names for scales – primarily [[Octave equivalence|octave-equivalent]] [[moment of symmetry]] scales – as well as their their intervals, their associated generator ranges, and the ratios describing the proportions of large and small steps.

~~As opposed to referring~~ to ~~scales by temperament names followed by a note count, such as with~~ ''~~meantone[7]~~''~~, names for mosses are referred to by a step pattern and a step ratio~~.

==Mos pattern names==

TAMNAMS uses the following names for ~~selected small~~ mosses. These names are optional; interval size names and step ratio names can be combined with conventional ''xL ys'' names.

TAMNAMS uses the following names for mosses with step counts between 6 and 10. These names are optional; interval size names and step ratio names can be combined with conventional ''xL ys'' names.

Some of the names come from older temperament-agnostic mos names, such as names (such as ''mosh'') from [[Graham Breed]]'s [[Graham Breed's MOS naming scheme|mos names]]. These names have been coined so that mosses can be discussed more independently of RTT temperaments. Sometimes the prefix has a different source than the scale name for euphonic reasons.
