* The pattern continues, ddd for triply diminished and AAA for triply augmented. Note that applying this operation more than 3 times is an unlikely usecase, and a shorthand notaton of d^3 and A^3 or an alternative notation or terminology entirely would likely be preferable in such circumstances, hence repetition of the corresponding letter is a sufficient system.

== Naming mos degrees ==

To denote degrees in a given mos (or altered mos) mode, we use the term ''k-mosdegree'', abbreviated as kmd (or ''k-degree'' and kd if context allows). ~~Analogous to~~ mos interval names we use 0-indexing, so 0-mosdegree is the tonic.

To denote degrees in a given mos (or altered mos) mode, we use the term ''k-mosdegree'', abbreviated as kmd (or ''k-degree'' and kd if context allows). Just like for mos interval names, we use 0-indexing, so 0-mosdegree is the tonic.

When unmodified, kmd always denotes the kth mosdegree in the current mos mode. If necessary, the modifiers ''minor'', ''major'', ''augmented'' and ''diminished'' can be used: for example, m3md denotes the degree that lies a minor 3-mosstep above the tonic.

When unmodified, kmd always denotes the kth mosdegree in the current mos mode. If necessary, the modifiers ''minor'', ''major'', ''augmented'' and ''diminished'' can be used: for example, ''minor 3-mosdegree'' (m3md) denotes the degree that lies a minor 3-mosstep above the tonic.

To denote a chord or a mode on a given degree, write the chord or the mode in parentheses after the degree symbol. Either write out the chord in cents or mossteps, or use whatever names or abbreviations you have defined for the chord or mode.

* For example, in the Celephaïsian (LsLLsLLs) mode of 5L 3s, we have m2md(0-369-646), or the chord 0-369-646 on the 2-mosdegree which is a minor 2-mosstep.

* In Celephaïsian, we have m2md(7|0), meaning that we have the 7|0 (LLsLLsLs) mode on the 2-mosdegree which is a minor 2-mosstep in Celephaïsian.

* In Celephaïsian, we have m2md(7|0), meaning that we have the [[UDP|7|0]] (Dylathian, LLsLLsLs) mode on the 2-mosdegree which is a minor 2-mosstep in Celephaïsian.
