A root string of length Λ+1 gives an irreducible sl2 Lie algebra module R(Λ) when restricting the Adjoint representation to the sl2 subalgebra associated with a root. Include also the root's own R(2) and one commuting Cartan direction R(0). For A2​ either simple root gives R(2)⊕2R(1)⊕R(0). For B2​, the long root gives R(2)⊕2R(1)⊕3R(0) and the short root gives 3R(2)⊕R(0). For G2​, the long root gives R(2)⊕4R(1)⊕3R(0) and the short root gives R(2)⊕2R(3)⊕3R(0).
