48. A correct description of the intensities of the originally observed quartets in Ref. 10 would require accounting for the overall rotation effects. One way of doing it may consist in using the internal axis method and extended permutation-inversion group formalism (Refs. 41 and 42). Formal complexity of the procedure, however, would be so enormous that we do not find it worthwhile to perform it in this paper. We find it more convenient to rely on the rotation-free extrapolated frequencies.

50. zz = 320.37 - 1.34 cos 6γ+0.20 cos 12γ. Although the function fits our ab initio data fairly quantitatively, it should be taken as a very crude approximant of the genuine quantity.
