=== 1L 1s, 1L 2s, and 2L 1s, and their child mosses ===
These three scales - 1L 1s, 1L 2s, and 2L 1s - have potentially too few notes to be considered true scales, hence these descriptions are for completeness.
These three scales - 1L 1s, 1L 2s, and 2L 1s - have potentially too few notes to be considered true scales, hence these descriptions are for completeness. The 2nd-order children of 1L 1s include scales already described by TAMNAMS, but also includes a gap in the form of 3L 1s (and to an extent, 1L 3s).

* 1L 1s, named prototonic or protic, is the progenitor scale of all single-period mosses, and the name of prototonic reflects this (proto- meaning first).
=== 5L 7s, 7L 5s, and their child mosses ===
* 2L 1s, named deuterotonic or deuteric, is one of two child scales of 1L 1s, and the name deuterotonic reflects this (deutero- meaning second). Its sister of 1L 2s, named antideuterotonic or antideuteric, being a monolarge scale, is named after 2L 1s with the anti- prefix added.
5L 2s has two children: 5L 7s and 7L 5s, or p- and m-chromatic respectively. This section names the second-order children of 5L 2s.

! colspan="3" |Parent scale
This pair of scales - 1L 3s and 3L 1s - represent a gap in the section of second-order child mosses.

* 3L 1s, named tetric, is the parent scale of both mosh and smitonic and can be seen as a four-note equivalent of pentic, hence the name (tetra- meaning four).
|-
* 1L 3s, named antitetric, is the sister of tetric. If monolarge scales are better seen as subsets of (n+1)L 1s scales, then the sisters of monolarge scales may be seen as being the parent scale for successive scales the same way pentic is the parent of diatonic, rather than going down a chain of monolarge scales (1L ns, 1L (n-1)s, 1L (n-2)s, etc). Therefore, the description of 1L 3s here is for completeness.
