		Phane prefixes thus resemble the traditional skeletal replacement ("a") prefixes, such as "oxa", "aza", etc., that indicate replacement of a single skeletal unit of structure, usually a carbon unit, by a different unit of structure.
		In the examples of phane parent hydrides that follow, the larger bold-faced numbers are the locants of the simplified phane skeleton and the small numbers are the locants of the individual amplificants.
		The phane parent hydride name (see PhI-1.6) is then formed from the names of components for the portions of structure so obtained, i.e., the "simplified parent skeleton" provides the phane skeletal name and the names for the amplificants designate the portions of the phane parent hydride replaced by the simplification procedure.

		In a phane parent hydride name, the locants for atoms that do not belong to amplificants are the locants of the simplified phane skeleton.
		As it is the rule for citing locants in front of detachable prefixes, there must be a number of locants corresponding to the multiplicative prefix, 'di', 'tri', etc., in front of the prefix.
		The seniority of a composite locant is determined first on the basis of its primary locants, i.e., the locants of the phane parent skeleton, and, if these locants are identical, on the basis of the complete composite locant itself, i.e., the primary locant and its superscripts.

		During the campaign there are a certain discrepancies between the two stories, the first of which was the motive of Phanes for defecting to Cambyses.
