There's also double layer turns, designated by the lowercase version of the letter that corresponds to a side. The six double layer turns are: u, d, l, r, f, and b.
| u u' u2 |
d d' d2 |
l l' l2 |
r r' r2 |
f f' f2 |
b b' b2 |

In addition, there are three slice turns, designated M, E, and S.
Finally, sometimes parentheses are used as part of cube notation. Parentheses simply group several turns together that can be executed in one fluid motion without regripping. Each one of these groups of turns can be called a "trigger." For example, take this move sequence, which is called the Sune: (L' U' L)(U' L')(U2 L). The parentheses tell you that the Sune can be done in three triggers or fluid motions. See the bottom of this page to watch a video of Lars Petrus performing this move sequence with the fingertricks.
