Language Question

So I've finally started reading Daigo Sensei's Kodokan Throwing Techniques.
So far I'm learning a great deal. I am stumbling over one nitpicky word.  Each technique has several subdivisions which start with the word "Sono" followed by what ever number it is.
What is the appropriate translation for "Sono?"
From the context at first I thought it was variation. But toward the end of the techniques I've read so far there are notes about the history of the technique.  So would a better translation be "point" or "item"?

Thanks,

I too would be interested in the exact translation. That said, I took sono to mean 'that' variation or the variation "closest to that' example....

Not seeing the context, I'll keep it general.

kono x = this x (thing, object, whatever) close at hand
sono x = that x "  " over there, away from me but close to you
ano x = that x "    " way far over there / far from both of us

In the context of such a text, it usually goes something like:
Technique A
Modifications
- Mod 1 (That is, #1 / Sono 1....)
-　Mod 2 (That is, #2 / Sono 2...)

that make sense?

So then ... the original Kono was the loco boy closest at hand?



And ... just personally Miss Park suits my aesthetic sense better ... to cast a vaguely Asian/Polynesian actor in LA, a Korean is usually the closest at hand?



Yeah, McGarrett never said "book 'em Kono" ... which is probably why they both quit.

kono kuko koko ni.
