3L 4s, named mosh in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 4 small steps, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 342.9 ¢ to 400 ¢, or from 800 ¢ to 857.1 ¢.

Naming

Scale name

TAMNAMS suggests the temperament-agnostic name mosh for this scale, adopted from an older MOS naming scheme by Graham Breed. The name is a contraction of "mohajira-ish".

Provisional mode names

Some names discussed here come from a non-authoritative source and are likely to be replaced.

One set of mode nicknames was coined by Andrew Heathwaite. The other set was coined by CellularAutomaton and follows the diatonic modes' naming convention by using ancient Greek toponyms that sound similar to the Heathwaite names.

Scale properties

This article uses TAMNAMS conventions for the names of this scale's intervals and scale degrees. The use of 1-indexed ordinal names is reserved for diatonic interval categories.
