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.

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. | 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. Additionally, some of these reasonings also serve as justifications for changing earlier names. As such, this section not only provides reasonings for their names but also a record of how those reasonings were developed in the first place. | ||

Most of these names are abstractions of their original temperament names insofar that they 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]]), [[echidna]], 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).

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. | 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]].

In other words, these mosses are a 1L 1s pattern repeated ''n'' times in one octave. 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. | ||
The names for all other multiperiod mosses follow the general or relationship-based reasonings as stated previously. | |||

This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 7, 10 and 17 }} equal divisions, with non-patent val tunings including (but not limited to) 7+7=14cd, 10+10=20e, 17+7=24cd, and 17+10=27ce. | This temperament is supported by {{Optimal ET sequence| 7, 10 and 17 }} equal divisions, with non-patent val tunings including (but not limited to) 7+7=14cd, 10+10=20e, 17+7=24cd, and 17+10=27ce. | ||
