[[TAMNAMS]] uses the name "monowood" for this MOS scale, in reference to the other n-wood names (such as biwood, triwood, and tetrawood), named after [[Limmic temperaments|blackwood]] and [[whitewood]]) and specifically refers to this mos with an octave period.

The name "trivial" refers to how this is a trivial MOS pattern, though the name is meant to be [[equave]]-agnostic.

All single-period mosses ultimately start with a [[Generator|generating interval]] and, for octave-equivalent scales, the generator's [[octave complement]]. Hence, this scale can also be seen as the parent of every strict moment-of-symmetry scale and is thus found as the root of various scale trees, such as the [[MOS Scale Family Tree|mos family tree]].

This mos is also its own [[sister]], though this property is also true of all nL ns scales.
