The [[TAMNAMS]] system suggests the name '''roach''', a name that is thematically inspired by [[bug]] temperament, and is a reference to the popular Mexican folk song "[[Wikipedia:La Cucaracha|La Cucaracha]]"- specifically versions of the song in which the titular cockroach is missing a leg.
The [[TAMNAMS]] system suggests the name '''manic''', a name that is thematically inspired by Latin words "manus" (meaning "hand"<ref>[[Wiktionary: manus #Latin]]</ref>) and "mania" (the obvious source of the English word "mania").

The scale with the lowest harmonic entropy for this MOS pattern is semaphore, in which two generators make a 4/3. The other interesting scale is orwell, in which the generator is approximately 7/6 and three of them make an 8/5.

All scales of this form are necessarily proper (because there is only one small step).

Names

The TAMNAMS system suggests the name manic, a name that is thematically inspired by Latin words "manus" (meaning "hand"[1]) and "mania" (the obvious source of the English word "mania").
