=== Names for mos descendants by step ratio ===
=== Names for mos descendants by step ratio ===
The designations of chromatic, enharmonic, and subchromatic by themselves does not describe a specific mos descendant. To do that, the name of a step ratio range can be prefixed to the terms ''chromatic'', ''enharmonic'', and ''subchromatic'' (or ''(mos-prefix)chromatic'', ''(mos-prefix)enharmonic'', and ''(mos-prefix)subchromatic''). Specifying the step ratio is optional, and the names for step ratios can be abbreviated into a one or two-letter prefix. (Frostburn's abbreviations can be used here, too.) These prefixes are used for specific descendants, with the notable exception of ''soft'' and ''hard'', which may be used for subchromatic mosses to produce terminology that is more precise than just ''subchromatic'' but not as specific as their step ratio ranges. These prefixes must include a hyphen.

These prefixes are used for specific descendants, with the notable exception of ''soft'' and ''hard''. For enharmonic mosses, these describe mosses with a step ratio outside the hyposoft and hypohard range. For subchromatic mosses, these describe mosses within the entire soft and hard ranges, producing terminology more specific than just ''subchromatic'' but not as specific as the specific step ratio ranges. These prefixes must include a hyphen.
