If there exists a homomorphism h: G → ℤ so that h(s[''i'']) = ''i'', then s is weakly epimorphic with the homomorphism h. If s is monotone and weakly epimorphic, it is epimorphic. An important special case is where G is a JI group and h is a val. Epimorphic scales in this restricted sense were apparently first considered by [[Yves Hellegouarch]]. The name comes from the fact that h is an epimorphism onto .
