My 2401/2400-planar temperament piece is coming along, but it seems to
me that if someone is actually going to present a piece of music in
it, it should have a name. Somehow Graham acquired the rights to this
important comma, which means some name with a "breed" in it is a
possibility. Breeding?

By drawing lattices projected along its direction, similar to what
you and Paul Hj. were just discussing.

Why "-ing"? This seems to suggest a process; in fact I used this term
to describe a process here:

/tuning/topicId_28558.html#28558

not to mention much more recently on this list.

It's lousy, I agree. Are you suggesting just "Breed", or what would
you suggest?
