On Page One Forty four, Sayadaw lays out a few more characteristics of the four elements (12 total):
Earth: hardness, roughness, heaviness, softness, smoothness, lightness.
Water: flowing and cohesion
Fire: heat and coldness
Wind: supporting and pushing.
Also he says they are taught in this order (of easiest to most difficult to discern):
pushing, hardness, roughness, heaviness, supporting, softness, smoothness, lightness, coldness, cohesion, flowing; each discerned in one place in the body and then throughout.
