Case 1: Λ<sub>2</sub> is the mos (n &minus; 2)β 2β’.
Case 1: Λ<sub>2</sub> is the mos (n &minus; 2)β 2β’.


For Λ<sub>2</sub> to be a mos, the first occurrence of R must be at either f = floor(n/2) or ceil(n/2). We may assume that it is at f; otherwise flip the chain and reindex the words to start at 2f.

These give exactly three distinct sizes for every interval class. Hence S is SV3.
