Duostellar is a term for when is simultaneously mono-spec and m-spec in their attraction. Examples of this are:

Using the split attraction model

being non-SAM and being mspec, but feeling such intense attraction to one gender compared to the other(s) that one feels mono and mspec

Using labels that refer to being mono spec and labels that refer to being mspec

any others not mentioned! 

Etymology and Inspiration:

The term Duostellar refers to binary star systems, which are two stars that are gravitationally connected and orbit each other. Binary star systems look like single stars when looking at them from far away, and I took inspiration this mono/multiple duality to naming Duostellar. 

Gravitastellar refers to the gravity in play in all star systems. It can be used instead of Duostellar because the “Duo-” might be misleading and lead being to think it refers only to “two-.”

(door-ay-twaul)

Dorétoile is a term for when one is both Duostellar and Aurimellan - one’s orientation is mono-spec, m-spec, fluid, and not fluid. 

Etymology and Inspiration:

I took inspiration from the gold part of Aurimellan and the star part of Duostellar, conflating it into a one-word version of the phrase “golden star” in French. Doré = golden. Étoile = star.
