For example, I won&#8217;t need a descriptive discrete character for presence\/absence of a central swelling. When it comes to the apex shape, I&#8217;m less sure. Will I be able to capture the difference between a rostrate and sub-rostrate apex with the Fourier modes? I think so.<\/p>\n<p>But even leaving this out, rolling the notes I&#8217;ve assembled on the various characters together into a coherent character set is tricky. How to integrate a long list of descriptive terms and phrases lumped under &#8220;valve face topography&#8221; with transverse vs. longitudinal sulci, and the canonical list of terms for the &#8220;girdle view outline&#8221; shape?<\/p>\n<p>Got stuck and overcome by a deep desire not to work.
