For , take the three vectors from part (iii):
Their joint Young–Jucys–Murphy element weights, in the order , are
They are distinct, and part (ii) says that these operators generate . Therefore a Gelfand–Tsetlin basis is
If an orthonormal basis is desired, use , , and . The corresponding standard Young tableaux have shape , with the second-row entry respectively . Their contents agree with the three displayed weights.
