The names for moschromatic scales are based on former names for the child scales for diatonic (5L 2s): p-chromatic (5L 7s) and m-chromatic (7L 5s). This was generalized to "chromatic" and "moschromatic", with the prefixes m- and p- for specificity. The names for mosenharmonic scales are based on discussions with xen Discord members for systematically naming the daughter and granddaughter scales of a mos, producing "enharmonic" and "mosenharmonic" with the prefixes f-, m-, p-, and s- for specificity.

This proposal initially considered grandchild scales of a mos, and the recent addition of great-grandchild scales was done for completeness. The use of "schismic" to refer to great-grandchild scales is subject to change (I'm open to better suggestions), with the prefixes f-, a-, u-, m-, p- q-, r-, and s- for specificity. Note that mosschismic scales borrows the prefixes as mosenharmonic scales, which itself borrows those for mosenharmonic scales. The table below shows what prefixes are used for which generation of mosdescendants, with an added mnemonic for memorization.
