-The unfortunate mixed spelling ^B♭ is the result of demanding beta to be a perfect fourth above zeta. It is to be tolerated if we wish the two periods to be the same one semioctave apart.
+Note how it's vB instead of vB♯ like everything else in order to have beta to be a perfect fourth above zeta. This way we get two identical periods one semioctave apart.
+
+Here the up inflection is mere 11.730 cents. You can also check out the [other alternative](https://github.com/xenharmonic-devs/sonic-weave/blob/main/examples/semioctave-alternative-2.sw) where zeta = ^F instead resulting in more compact notation.
 
 ### The interordinal semifourth
 When combined with a semiaugmented unison the true tone-splitters induce the notation `m2.5` for the semifourth `P4 / 2` basically for free.
