This is a proposed systematic extension for the TAMNAMS MOS scale naming system based on parent / grandparent relationships. It's intended for a user interface so that every MOS pattern has a memorable name.
Diatonic family
This system introduces the following names for (grand)daughters of diatonic 5L 2s.
| Daughters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Pattern | Name | Notes |
| 5L 7s | pychromatic | Chromatic scale from pythagorean generator 3/2 |
| 7L 5s | mechromatic | Chromatic scale of meantone |
| Granddaughters | ||
| Pattern | Name | Notes |
| 12L 5s | pyenharmonic | Enharmonic scale from 3/2 generator |
| 5L 12s | shenharmonic | Enharmonic scale of sharp (super)pyth |
| 7L 12s | meanharmonic | Enharmonic scale of meantone |
| 12L 7s | flenharmonic | Enharmonic scale of flattone |
| Great-granddaughters | ||
| Pattern | Name | Notes |
| 12L 17s | pythagotonic | Generator is 3/2. Small step is the Pythagorean comma |
| 17L 12s | antipythagotonic | |
| 19L 12s | fauxarabian | One possible generator is double of neutral third 11/9 while the scale still sounds neutral |
| 12L 19s | fauxrussian | Faux-cyrilic font is the "opposite" of faux-arabic |

Woods
Trivial multi-MOS scales of n periods are named n-wood or spelled out resulting in: hexawood, septawood, octawood, nonawood and decawood.
Daughter scales
The system introduces stems derived from the prefixes of select MOS scales under 10 notes. If the parent of a basic MOS scale is hard the name is (stem)pechromic (analogous to pychromatic). If the parent of a basic MOS scale is soft the name is (stem)mechromic (analogous to mechromatic).
Granddaughter scales
Granddaughters are analogues of menharmonic, flenharmonic, pyenharmonic and shenharmonic.
| Basic granddaughter scales | |
|---|---|
| Grandparent step-ratio | Name scheme |
| 4:3 | (stem)menharmic |
| 5:3 | (stem)fenharmic |
| 5:2 | (stem)penharmic |
| 4:1 | (stem)senharmic |
Great-granddaughter scales
Great-granddaughters derive names from the hardness of the great-grandparent scale e.g. minisoft becomes miso.
| Basic great-granddaughter scales | |
|---|---|
| Great-grandparent step-ratio | Name scheme |
| 5:1 | uha-(stem)tonic |
| 7:2 | paha-(stem)tonic |
| 5:4 | uso-(stem)tonic |
| 7:5 | paso-(stem)tonic |
| 7:3 | miha-(stem)tonic |
| 8:3 | quha-(stem)tonic |
| 7:4 | miso-(stem)tonic |
| 8:5 | quso-(stem)tonic |
Trollic
Trollic is a name given to 12L 1s by Godtone, but in order to troll even further the name is given to 13L 1s instead.
Giedraitic
Giedraitic is a name given to 19L 3s in honor of the basic magic layout of Kite Giedraitis' guitar. The prefix/stem kai comes from Kite's first name /kaɪt/ with the last /t/ removed.
