==== Temperament-based names ====

Temperament-based names should be used as a last resort and such names should be abstracted from the original ~~temperament names~~. Such names include ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon''; these reference notable temperaments of porcupine, triforce, pajara (along with diaschismic and injera), echidnoid, and lemba, respectively.

Temperament-based names ending in the prefix ''-oid'' refer to [[Exotemperament|low-accuracy ~~temperaments]] (exotemperaments~~) whose tuning ranges, when including extreme tunings, cover the entirety of their corresponding mosses. Therefore, edos with simple step ratios for that mos will correspond to valid tunings for that temperament (if not by patent val, then with a small number of warts). Such names include ''machinoid'', ''dicoid'', and ''sephiroid'', in reference to ''machine'', ''dichotic/dicot'', and ''sephiroth'' temperaments, respectively; for more information, see their specific reasonings under <section>.

===~~= ''n''L ''n''s~~ mosses ====

=== Reasonings for multiperiod mosses ===

Mosses of the form ''n''L ''n''s are given names based on a Greek numeral prefix ~~appended~~ to the base name ''wood'', in reference to the temperaments [[blackwood]] and [[whitewood]]. These mosses are special in that all mosses with the same number of periods ''n'' can be traced back to an ''n''L ''n''s mos, ~~ultimately~~ representing a mos consisting of only its generators and periods. This also means that, coincidentally, all mosses with ''n'' periods form a binary ''tree'' whose ''root'' is ''n''L ''n''s, lending credence to the wood-based name.

Multiperiod mosses other than ''n''L ''n''s were originally given composite names that were based on the the repetition of a smaller step pattern.

Multiperiod mosses are given unique names that are not reliant on duplicating the name of a mos from the expanded named range, namely ''manual'', ''pedal'', ''pentic'', and ''antipentic''.

(Original text)

Similarly, the inclusion of mosses of the form 1L ns using the "anti-" prefix (or an- for less-than-six-note mosses) was also for a practical consideration; although the tuning range is very unhelpful for knowing what such a mos will sound, it is nonetheless useful for describing structure in situations where one does not want to use the mathematical name, especially given that in such situations the tuning will likely be specified somewhere already. Jaric and taric specifically were chosen over bipedal and bimanual because of this, and to a lesser extent, lemon and lime were chosen over antibipentic and bipentic respectively (and for consistency with that their parent MOSS, 4L2s, is named citric).

=== Relationship-based reasonings ===

Reasonings that do not fall under any of the general reasonings are likely to have a relationship-based reasoning, where groups of mosses related by sisterhood or parenthood are given names based on a common theme.

====Malic (2L 4s), citric (4L 2s), lemon (6L 4s), and lime (4L 6s)====

The names for 2L 4s and 4L 2s come from Latin ''malus'' and ''citrus'', meaning 'apple' and 'citrus', respectively. Apples have concave ends, whereas lemons and limes – both types of citrus fruits – have convex ends. Both are ubiquitous foods, justifying their use for these fairly small mosses.
