Also there are Vfe speeds and Vfo speeds for flaps 8 and 20. Vfe is higher than Vfo by 15kts. I know what Vfe is for but again, never ran across a Vfo speed before. What is it for? I assume you deploy flaps at or below 215 and then have to slow down to 200 with the flaps out or no..........?

Please tell me I'm not the only one or maybe I'm mildly learning deficient.
Vadg is the air driven generator limitation. Wet/dry refers to different versions with different limitations.
Vb/Mb is turbulence penetration.
