TERNAMS (pronounced / | TERNAMS (pronounced /tərneɪmz/, ''TER-names'') is a system meant to provide tuning-agnostic names for MV3 ternary scales. The name "TERNAMS" is a portmanteau of "ternary" and "names," specifically chosen by comparison to [[TAMNAMS]]. | ||
TERNAMS aims to fix the problem wherein ternary scales and their modes cannot be concisely described with numbers in the same manner that MOS scales can. While a MV2 MOS scale can be described in terms of large and small steps, many MV3 ternary scales have separate chiral and achiral patterns with the same number of steps. Additionally, while a mode of a MV2 MOS scale can be described by how many generators are stacked up/down from the root, many MV3 ternary scales cannot be made with generators at all. | TERNAMS aims to fix the problem wherein ternary scales and their modes cannot be concisely described with numbers in the same manner that MOS scales can.

The name "Dhembric" was suggested by | The name "Dhembric" was suggested by [[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]] as a reference to [[User:Unque/Dhembrwood|Dhembrwood]], a temperament which utilizes both the left- and right-hand variations of this scale. The modes of the scale can be inherited from the Dhembrwood[9] mode names (as opposed to Dhembrwood[9], whose modes may be confused for those of Orbital). This scale can be collapsed to form [[5L 4s|Semiquartal]] (L = M), [[4L 5s|Gramitonic]] (M = s), or [[4L 1s|Manual]] (s = 0). | ||

=== Diasem (Chiral 5L2M2s) === | |||
The modes of the chiral [[Diasem]] scale have yet to be named; some have proposed usage of the Diatonic or Semiquartal mode names, but such proposals have been criticized for being ambiguous. | |||
