50. Note that this connection of α -process and EW does not imply that these processes are identical. Recent studies show that while the α -process is isotropic, the excess wing originates from a spatially highly restricted motion, see M. Vogel, C. Tschirwitz, S. Schneider, C. Koplin, P. Medick, and E. Rössler, J. Non-Cryst. Solids 0022-3093 307-310, 326 (2002) 10.1016/S0022-3093(02)01492-8; (Pubitemid 34867014)

52. The Fourier transformation was carried out numerically using a program written by Dr. A. Brodin whom we thank for making this program available to us.
53. The emergence of the EW at high temperatures is best recognized in optical Kerr effect as well as in light scattering experiments, see Ref. and H. Cang, V. N. Novikov, and M. D. Fayer, J. Chem. Phys. 0021-9606 118, 2800 (2003). 10.1063/1.1536612
54. Note that for polymeric glass formers two parameters are in general required for a description of the main relaxation, albeit there for a different reason, see A. Schönhals, F. Kremer, and E. Schlosser, Phys. Rev. Lett. 0031-9007 67, 999 (1991). 10.1103/PhysRevLett.67.999
55. The conditions (i) through (iii) can be fulfilled with Β=0.63 and γ=0.21 for glycerol and with Β=0.78 and γ=0.23 for PC. Here the Β -parameters are those resulting from previous scaling analyses of glycerol (Ref.) and of PC (Ref.), respectively.
56. A recent study on glycerol at ultrahigh pressure also reports more "normal" Β time constants below the α-Β merging region, see A. A. Pronin, M. V. Kondrin, A. G. Lyapin, V. V. Brazhkin, A. A. Volkov, P. Lunkenheimer, and A. Loidl (unpublished).
57. For xylitol extended aging led to a resolved Β -peak, see R. Wehn, P. Lunkenheimer, and A. Loidl, J. Non-Cryst. Solids 0022-3093 353, 3862 (2007). 10.1016/j.jnoncrysol.2007.03.023 (Pubitemid 47429675)

60. g ratio was reported to be 1650/91=18.1, see Ref.. Since in that article a different method of analysis was employed the data are not included in Fig..
