Starting at 4 periods, mosdescendant names apply only to n-wood scales (triwood, tetrawood, pentawood, etc), where the names of mosdescendants are based on names for single-period mosses up to 5 notes rather than based on moschromatic, mosenharmonic, and mosschismic, and thereby limited to mosdescendants with 5n notes; any descendants after that are referred as to '''n-wood descendants'''.

Each generation has twice as many mosdescendants as the last, so rather than try to name every possible descendant, mosdescendants more than 3 generations from a given parent mos may be referred to how many generations away it is. Mosschismic scales are 3rd mosdescendants, so after that are 4th-mosdescendants, 5th-mosdescendants, and so on. The algorithms below shows how to find how many generations away a mos xL ys is from another scale.

*# Assign to z the value m2 and w the value m1-m2. Increment g by 1.
*# If the sum of z and w is less than or equal to 10, then the mos name is that assigned to the mos zL ws, which is g generations away from xL ys. If not, repeat the process starting at step 2.
