The Weyl reflection in satisfiesNow take and expand it in the basis . At least one coefficient belonging to a simple root other than is positive. Sincethe reflection changes only the coefficient of . Every root has simple-root coefficients of one sign, so the unchanged positive coefficient prevents from being negative. Hence . Because is an involution, it permutes , while it exchanges and . Therefore
