To name mosses that have more than 10 notes, rather than giving mosses unique names, names are based on how they're related to another (named) mos. The following names are used for specific generations - namely child, grandchild, and great-grandchild mosses: | To name mosses that have more than 10 notes, rather than giving mosses unique names, names are based on how they're related to another (named) mos.

* A child mos is a ''chromatic | * A child mos is a ''chromatic mos'', or specifically, ''chromatic (mos name)''. For mosses with up to 3 periods this can be shortened to ''(mos-prefix)chromatic''. | ||
* A grandchild mos is an ''enharmonic | * A grandchild mos is an ''enharmonic mos'', or specifically, ''enharmonic (mos name)''. For mosses with up to 3 periods this can be shortened to ''(mos-prefix)enharmonic''. | ||
* A great-grandchild mos is a ''subchromatic | * A great-grandchild mos is a ''subchromatic mos'', or specifically, ''subchromatic (mos name)''. (Tentative name; open to better suggestions.) For mosses with up to 3 periods this can be shortened to ''(mos-prefix)subchromatic''. | ||
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: | 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''.

The names for chromatic scales are based on former names for the child mosses of diatonic (5L 2s) - p-chromatic for 5L 7s and m-chromatic for 7L 5s - and was generalized to ''chromatic mos''. The term enharmonic is already in use to describe the grandchild mosses of diatonic, and so was generalized to ''enharmonic mos''. The term subchromatic is a term coined by Mike Battaglia to describe a scale that is more chromatic than either chromatic or enharmonic, and is generalized to ''subchromatic mos''. | The names for chromatic scales are based on former names for the child mosses of diatonic (5L 2s) - p-chromatic for 5L 7s and m-chromatic for 7L 5s - and was generalized to ''chromatic mos''.

Various people have suggested the use of p- and m- as prefixes to refer to specific chromatic mosses, as well as the use of f- and s- for enharmonic mosses. Generalizing the pattern to 3rd mos descendants reveals an issue where the letters started to diverge from one another, notably where m- is no longer next to p- and f- and s- are no longer along the extremes. Rather than to use these letters and to maintain temperament agnosticism, prefixes based on step ratios are used instead. | Various people have suggested the use of p- and m- as prefixes to refer to specific chromatic mosses, as well as the use of f- and s- for enharmonic mosses.
