The Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem shows that the weights of the Verma module arewith multiplicities given by the corresponding Kostant partition function.
The Dynkin labels of are . Hence the two simple-root singular vectors are , of weight , and , of weight . They generate the Maximal proper submodule of a dominant integral Verma module. Its set of weights is consequently
