What is between FAST sub scale 6e and FAST 7a?

I think my daddy is some where between FAST sub scale 6e and FAST 7a? He is clearly at 6e, but he sort of talks in full sentences. Not always coherent full sentences, but more then a half-dozen intelligible words. Is there a word for this stage? Anyone else go through this stage? Daddy is in an assisted living facility and is VERY well cared for.

These scales are assessment tools and an individual's progression may not follow the steps exactly as they are written, there are always variables such as the person's other comorbidities and the possibility of mixed dementia (which I personally believe is under diagnosed)
