+** A threshold digit (also called ''k'' in the codex book), which MUST be a single digit between "2" and "9", or the digit "0". For shared secrets, this digit encodes the threshold (the number of shares required for recovery): thresholds 2-9 are encoded as digits "2"-"9" respectively. For unshared secrets, threshold 1 is denoted by the share index "s" (not by the threshold digit); the digit "0" is recommended for the threshold digit in this case, but any digit is allowed as it is ignored.

 The 4 character identifier also has no effect beyond aiding users in distinguishing between multiple different master seeds in cases where they have more than one.
 
 ===Recovering Master Seed===
 
 When the share index of a valid codex32 string (converted to lowercase) is not the letter "s", we call the string an codex32 share.
-The first character of the data part indicates the threshold of the share, and it is required to be a non-"0" digit.
+The first character of the data part is the threshold digit, which encodes the threshold (the number of shares required for recovery). For a codex32 share, the threshold digit is required to be a non-"0" digit (i.e., "2" through "9"), encoding thresholds 2 through 9 respectively.
 
 In order to recover a master seed, one needs a set of valid codex32 shares such that:
