Any mos more than 3 generations away from a named mos is broadly referred to as a ''(mos name) descendant'', ''(mos-prefix)descendant'' (for single-period mosses), or broadly, ''mos descendant''. These terms can also be used | Any mos more than 3 generations away from a named mos is broadly referred to as a ''(mos name) descendant'', ''(mos-prefix)descendant'' (for single-period mosses), or broadly, ''mos descendant''. These terms can also be used for describing multiple mos descendants, possibly across multiple generations, or to broadly describe any one mos descendant regardless of generation. Optionally, the number of generations can be specified, producing ''nth (mos name) descendant'', using the algorithm below: | ||
# Let z and w be the number of large and small steps of the parent mos to be found. Assign to z and w the values x and y respectively. Let n = 0, where n is the number of generations away from zL ws. | # Let z and w be the number of large and small steps of the parent mos to be found.
