What should I call linear transformations on val space?

These things are maps sending vals to svals. What should they be called?

I was informally calling them "subgroups" but that's a terrible thing
to call them. They're more like "subgroup mappings" or something.

I proposed the name "smapping" before here
/tuning-math/message/20748 but now I
think that's stupid. A smapping sounds like a collection of svals.

Maybe mapping matrices could be "temperament mappings" and these could
be "subgroup mappings" or something? Apparently Gene's had about all
he can take of me calling these "subgroups."

So then what do I call a matrix in which the rows are svals?
