There is an uncountable cardinal number κ with σκ​=κ. Iterate κn+1​=σκn​​ starting with ℵ0​. If there is no earlier fixed point, the increasing supremum κ has countable cofinality, hence is a singular cardinal. The singular cardinal enumeration is cofinal in κ below index κ, and continuity at this singular supremum gives equality.
