39. 2≈0 but still nonzero, this term can be treated exactly in the same manner as we did for centrifugal distortion terms in Ref. 45. This will give rise to an additional shift of the RR period.

41. For the interpretation of their experimental data, Madeja et al. (Ref. 5) have employed the so-called S-reduced Watson Hamiltonian, while we used the A-reduced one. Therefore, we can compare the rotational constants obtained within the two procedures, but the centrifugal distortion constants cannot be directly compared.
