I still find this confusing: what would distinguish the decimal point from a Greek letter indicator? And what would distinguish the dot 5 from a baseline indicator? (Perhap the answer is context, or does it require a tn?)

Unfortunately, I had a deadline to meet, and I had these terms in the glossary, which was in the first two volumes I had to send off. Now I'm on chapter 8 of this book, and the terms are in this chapter. In the glossary, I transcribed them with an English letter indicator after the decimal point. How would you handle that? Should I send a correction for the glossary, and go ahead and transcribe them in chapter 8 as you suggested?
