The [[TAMNAMS]] system, used by this article, uses the name '''oneirotonic''' (/oʊnaɪrəˈtɒnɪk/ ''oh-ny-rə-TON-ik'' or /ənaɪrə-/ ''ə-ny-rə-'') or 'oneiro' for short. The name ''oneirotonic'' (from Greek ''oneiros'' 'dream') is coined after the Dreamlands in H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle mythos.

'Father' is sometimes also used to denote 5L 3s, but it's a slight misnomer, as [[father]] is technically an abstract [[regular temperament]], not a generator range. A more correct way to say it would be 'father[8]' or 'father octatonic'. "Father" is also vague because optimal generators for it also generate [[3L 2s]].
