139. Wilczek's goal was to avoid the use of a fundamental metric, and for this purpose he needs five scalar fields. In our case we keep the standard role of the metric from the beginning, but enrich the theory with a new metric independent density.

159. The possibility of a superluminal sound speed of perturbations (including a possibility of infinite cs) and its possible role in the tensor-to-scalar perturbation ratio in inflationary models have been studied in Refs. and in the black hole physics-in Ref. Conceptual problems related to causality have been discussed in Refs.

163. We are grateful to the referee of the present paper for attracting our attention to the papers of Barrow. Note that Barrow was interested in a classification of future singularities while we study initial singularities. However this difference is not essential.
