Well I've never heard of high third before, but I know all the others. And yes, you're forgetting fifth en bas, which means low fifth.

I've never heard of high-third & i've never called it high fifth, i just call it fifth. There is also bras ba (braba) (sorry, dont know how to spell it buht that is how you say it). There is some other positions like demi bras, etc. but the ones you have listed are the main ones. =)

I have never heard of high third either..... but the other ones are really easy. High fifth is like low fifth but with your arms almost above your head.... fourth is when you are in your preperation to do a turn. One arm is forward and the other arm is at your side but up. thats all i can think of that i can explain to you. good luck!
