A code list of the master part of the horizon designation.
CodeList
FAO Horizon Subordinate
A code list of designations of subordinate distinctions and features within the master horizons and layers which are based on profile characteristics observable in the field and are applied during the description of the soil at the site.
Lower case letters are used as suffixes to designate specific kinds of master horizons and layers, and other features. SOURCE Guidelines for soil description, 4th edition, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Rome, 2006, pp. 67-77, table 85
CodeList
FAO Prime
A prime and double prime may be used to connotate the master horizon symbol of the lower of two (prime) or three (double prime) horizons having identical Arabic-numeral prefixes and letter combinations.
Identical designations may be appropriate for two or more horizons or layers separated by at least one horizon or layer of a more different kind in the same pedon. The sequence A-E-Bt-E-Btx-C is an example - the soil has two E horizons. To make communication easier, a prime is used with the master horizon symbol of the lower of two horizons having identical letter designations: A-E-Bt-EÆ-Btx-C. The prime is applied to the capital letter designation, and any lower case symbol follows it: BÆt. The prime is not used unless all letters of the designations of two different layers are identical. Prime can be used for both minerals and organic soils.
CodeList
Layer Genesis Process State

Process state gives an idea whether current non-pedogenic processes affect the soil or not.
