Kokomo suffixes

I'll be passing through Kokomo the end of this month, and I'm going to
slide in and buy some glass. On my first visit to Kokomo a couple
months back I didn't really know what kind of glass I wanted to buy,
and I didn't want to buy glass on impulse without some forethought.
Through the glass I've got from GlassCrafters and by looking at the
online sample pictures at Kokomo, I've got a pretty good list together
now of generic types I want.

What I am wondering about is some of the suffixes that Kokomo uses to
identify their glass. I understand that some of the suffixes denote
density and others denote texture. Got no problem with that. But
some of the base identifiers have letters in them, too. Some are SPL,
ML, X, XD, and N. Do these have some special meaning? I don't think
the L or D on the end means dense or light, because when you look up
the piece it will likely as not say that it is available in multiple
densities, so my reckoning is that the density would be appended onto
the base identifier and the letters in it.

Thank you, Michael

What does D, MD, ML, L, and LL mean in your color codes?

What do SPL and N mean?
SPL is a catch-all code that means Special. What's special about a glass
with this code? Depends. 64 is Blue, Black Purple and Opal. 64SPL is the
same glass with the proportions of Blue and Black Purple reversed. 4 is
Royal Blue and Opal, while 4SPL is Royal Blue, Clear and Opal. Many time,
SPL simply means we added Opal to a Cathedral color, as in 623 and 623SPL,
629 and 629SPL, 880 and 880SPL. N, on the other hand, is much easier to
explain. N means an amber with a Green tone to it.
