The goal of TAMNAMS mos names is to choose memorable names for the most common octave-equivalent mosses. Generally, names should befit the mos they're describing ''no matter what temperaments support it'', allowing them to be discussed agnostically of any RTT-related contexts.
The goal of TAMNAMS mos names is to choose memorable names for the most common octave-equivalent mosses. Generally, names should befit the mos they're describing ''no matter what temperaments support it'', allowing them to be discussed agnostically of any RTT-related contexts.


Names are given to mosses that are the most likely to be used by musicians. As such, TAMNAMS primarily provides names for mosses within the range of 6 to 10 steps (or 2 to 10 steps, when including the extended named range for smaller mosses). This range is chosen to avoid naming large mosses for the sake of naming. Note that some of these reasonings also serve as justifications for abandoning certain names for their current ones.

The following reasonings cover most TAMNAMS names and should be considered the minimum criteria for naming mosses.
The following reasonings cover most TAMNAMS names and should be considered the minimum criteria for naming mosses.


==== Established names ====
==== Established names====
Notable non-temperament names are incorporated into TAMNAMS if they do not cause confusion, or are given names that reference notable things. Such names include ''mosh'' (from Graham Breed's naming scheme), ''tcheretonic'' (in reference to Alexander Tcherepnin's 9-note scale), ''oneirotonic'', ''balzano'', ''armotonic'' (in reference to Armodue theory), ''checkertonic'', and ''diatonic.''

Such names include ''mosh'' (from Graham Breed's naming scheme), ''tcheretonic'' (in reference to Alexander Tcherepnin's 9-note scale), ''oneirotonic'', ''balzano'' (in reference to the name given to 2L 7s scale in 20edo), ''armotonic'' (in reference to Armodue theory), ''checkertonic'' (in reference to the [[Kite Giedraitis's Categorizations of 41edo Scales|Kite guitar checkerboard scale]]), and ''diatonic.''


==== Names that describe an interval quality ====
====Names that describe an interval quality====
Several mosses are named after an interval or a (diatonic) interval quality. Such names include ''smitonic'', ''gramitonic'', ''semiquartal'', ''subneutralic'', and ''sinatonic'', from "sharp minor third", "grave minor third", "half-fourth", "between supraminor and neutral", and the interval [[sinaic]], respectively.

==== Temperament-based names ====
====Temperament-based names====
Temperament-based names should be used as a last resort, unless if the temperament in question is exceptionally notable. Most of these names are abstractions of their original temperament names insofar that they still refer to a temperament, as some of these names have additional reasonings. Such names include ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon''; these reference the 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|exotemperaments]] (low-accuracy temperametns) 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>.

Originally, 3L 5s, 6L 2s, 2L 7s, and 4L 5s were called ''sensoid'', ''echidnoid'', ''joanatonic'', and ''orwelloid'', respectively. These names were dropped since the temperaments [[sensi]], [[echidna]], [[joan]], and [[orwell]] were not suitable as exotemperaments, and the ''-oid'' suffix should refer to such.

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.

[[Step-generated scale|Monolarge]] mosses (mosses of the form 1L ''n''s) are given names based on their sister mos (''n''L 1s), with the ''anti-'' prefix added. The exception to this is 1L 6s, given the name ''onyx'' for the following reasonings:<blockquote>"1Ln-ic's" and "nL1-ic's (like, the -ic suffix applied to MOSS names, collectivised for 1Lns and nL1s) sounds like "one-el-en-ics" or "en-el-one-ics" which abbreviated sort of sounds like "one-ics" => "onyx". Then "onyx" sounds sort of like "one-six". Furthermore the onyx mineral comes in many colours and types, which seems fitting given this is the parent scale for a wide variety of MOSSes; specifically of interest being 7L 1s (pine), 8L 1s (subneutralic) and 9L 1s (sinatonic). Finally, the name "onyx" is also supposed to be vaguely reminiscent of "anti-archaeotonic" as "chi" (the greek letter) is written like an "x" (this is related to why "christmas" is abbreviated sometimes as "X-mas") and other than that, the letters "o" and "n" and their sounds are also present in "archaeotonic", and "x" is vaguely reminiscent of negation and multiplication. There is also something like a "y" sound in "archaeotonic" in the "aeo" part (depending partially on your pronounciation).</blockquote>Monolarge mosses were originally left unnamed due to the tuning ranges for these mosses being so large that they were unhelpful with knowing how they sound. This position was later amended as it's useful for describing structure in situations where one does not want to use the mathematical name, and especially in such contexts, a specific tuning will likely be specified.

=== Reasonings for multiperiod mosses ===
===Reasonings for multiperiod mosses===
Mosses of the form ''n''L ''n''s are given names based on a Greek numeral prefix added 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, representing a mos consisting of only its generators and periods. In other words, these mosses are a 1L 1s pattern repeated ''n'' times in one octave.

This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 5, 6, 11, 12, 16, 17, 22, 23, 27, 28 and 33 }} equal divisions, many of which correspond to both simple tunings (L:s = 2:1, 3:1, 3:2, etc) and degenerate tunings (L:s = 1:1 or 1:0) for 5L 1s. Non-patent val tunings include 5+5=10e, 5+10e+12=21be, 5+5+5+5+6=26qe; these are mentioned here for demonstrating virtual completeness of the tuning range, as is 33edo to show 11edo's strength as a tuning.

Originally, the name ''superdiatonic'' was used for 7L 2s, under the assumption that it was given by Armodue theorists, but this turned out to be a misattribution. Despite this, the name ''superdiatonic'' has seen some precedent of use on the wiki to refer to an octave-equivalent 7L 2s pattern, although it has had earlier use to refer to the expansion of a smaller mos to a larger one:

For instance, if you flat the 7, you get the scale 4 3 3 3 3 2 4, which is nice because it has a 4:5:6:7:9:11 chord in it. There's another "'''superdiatonic'''" scale at 1 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 which you can morph the above into if you want, and a 15-note chromatic scale at 1 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2; feel free to not stick dogmatically to these exact scales but to change them as you desire.''</blockquote>What 7L 2s and 5L 2s ''do'' share in common is 7L 2s has two extra large steps compared to 5L 2s, and can be generalized to mosses of the form (5+2''k'')L 2s, with increasingly ''flat'' fifth-like intervals for their generators.

Due to these concerns, the name ''armotonic'' is normally advised over ''superdiatonic'' as the former is unambiguous as to what it refers to, and the name ''superdiatonic'' is only allowed in situations where it's truly unambiguous if the writer prefers it.

In TAMNAMS, ''diatonic'' exclusively refers to 5L 2s. This is because while the term ''diatonic'' has accrued a variety of exact meanings over time, both within and outside the contexts of xenharmonic music theory, it has a clear choice of referent when talking about MOS scales: 5L 2s with an octave or tempered-octave period.
