FA-F9 Fingers Modifiers
If you're asking about modifiers for the fingers, it would be as follows:
FA - Left Hand, Thumb
F1 - Left Hand, 2nd Digit
F2 - Left Hand, 3rd Digit
F3 - Left Hand, 4th Digit
F4 - Left Hand, 5th Digit
F5 - Right Hand, Thumb
F6 - Right Hand, 2nd Digit
F7 - Right Hand, 3rd Digit
F8 - Right Hand, 4th Digit
F9 - Right Hand, 5th Digit
If I am not interpreting your question correctly, you may need to explain more clearly. I am assuming here you are asking for anatomical modifiers?
