Sorry I didn't reply to your earlier question but generally the holes on the back (covered by the thumbs) are there for the last few notes at the top of the scale (D to F on a 10 or 12 hole transverse oc or D to E on a 6 hole pendant oc). Like previously stated, the holes' position isn't important for producing notes, just the equivalent area that is open, so a several variations in fingering systems and hole positions exist, you can get away with only 4 holes to play an octave chromatic scale. I don't know if you've seen this yet, but because of the very limited range of the oc (1-1.5 octaves), multiple chamber ocs were created (ocarinas generally can't really overblow).

Funny you should mention adding keys to ocarinas because there are some old ocarinas that have keys to play higher notes and tuning plugs.

Sorry, for any rambling, I am as interested in ocarinas as I am clarinets and other woodwind instruments (I have about 40 ocarinas)
