The following names are suggested for octave-equivalent MOSes of sizes between 6 and 10. These names are optional; interval size names and step ratio names can be combined with conventional "xL ys" names. For example: ''21edo is the soft [[5L 3s]] tuning and its major mosthird is a neutral third of size 342.9 cents.''

Some of these come from temperament-agnostic MOS names coined by [[Igliashon Jones]] and others, as well as some of the names (such as "mosh") from [[Graham Breed]]'s names. Some are named by taking an arbitrary temperament that generates the scale (preferably in the MOS's [[proper]] range) and suffixing ''-oid''. These names have been coined so that MOSes can be discussed more independently of RTT temperaments (while drawing on an established RTT tradition in the xen community which may help make the names more meaningful to more people).

1L ns names are intentionally unspecific because the generator can be anywhere from the octave to to 1\(n+1) and can better be viewed as subsets of larger MOSes, for example [[1L 6s]] as a subset of [[7L 1s]].

With the inclusion of these 3 new L/s rations nearer the edges of the spectrum and names for the range divisions they create, we get the extended spectrum, summarised and detailed, just for the regions affected to avoid repetition.
