V.32bis is a modification or enhancement to V.32. Regards, Allan

In specs, it means updated, etymologically related to "two". I believe the official translation of v.32bis is v.32(a). Since older specs are rarely obsoleted, it effectively means expanded or more encompassing (if you say "enhanced", I will be forced to sneer again) in most cases.

To raise up; lift up; elevate. 2. To lift up to a higher degree; increase to a higher point; carry upward or to a greater extent; heighten; make greater, as prices or one's reputation or dignity ... It doesn't mean improved or enlarged, and it's a stretch to read "more encompassing" into it. Note that it properly refers to a price increase. So yes, it may have been right in this case. Can one un-scream?

I give up. Regards, Allan

It seems that the hype has made it to the dictionary. I lose, but so does the specificity of the language.

However, in the ITU specs. it specifically means the second version of the spec. There are some specs with later editions, where the name reflects that. For example, the version of V.27 used in FAX machines in V.27ter - the third version. The ITU can be a little wacky with its numbering, though. Some specs have been completely renumbered. G.726 is what used to be G.723, and G.723.1 is now something completely different.
