- As there is no center of symmetry in the structure, the point $z = 0$ can be set arbitrarily. Following (Bhakay-Tamhane, 1984) we set $z_{1} = 0$.
- While Struckturbericht symbols $H1_{1}$, $H1_{2}$ and $H1_{5}$ are identical with $S1_{1}$, $S1_{2}$ and $S1_{5}$, respectively, there is no connection between this structure and $S1_{4}$, garnet (A2B3C12D3_cI160_230_a_c_h_d).
