 * As the hinderances to rhinoscopic examination have already been described, and hints have been given as to how they can be overcome, it may here suffice to say, that with the palatal hook one can always distinguish, whether extended tumefaction exists in the pharyngeal vault or not. — Voltolini sometimes operates with the aid of the palatal hook.

 * A similar result obtains when the ligature is hooked on the posterior palatal hook, then carried around the labial surface and inward around the anterior corner, to be attached to a hook within the mouth. The selection of either of these methods would depend upon the class of fixture used, — that is, whether there be an external band or not. Next, the posterior corner alone may be affected, by carrying the ligature from the posterior palatal hook outward to a band, carrying the corner out by its action.

 * After cementation of the bands, the patient is instructed in the use of a medium, or small, heavy crossbite elastic. It goes from the palatal hook on the upper band to the buccal hook on the lower band.

 * Where the palate has been split, double frontal bar fixation and two half-maxilla cap splints should be used, avoiding cheek wires as these tend to further spread the palate. The addition of palatal hooks, one on each cap splint with elastic traction between them, hold the two halves together.

 * Kalnyn′ states, p. 145, that in the best manuscripts, which are characterized by the use of a palatal-marking hook or by such a hook plus a jotated vowel, the instances of marking of palatal l and n in general exceeds those of failing to do so; moreover, the marking of non-palatal consonants with a palatal hook is rare.

 * Pan-European fonts contain a larger but still incomplete set of caroned letters, usually č ě ň ř š ž and Č Ď Ě Ň Ř Š Ť Ž. Also called a wedge or a háček (hah-check), which is its Czech name. In Czech, however, this character is actually a variant of the palatal hook, which can take the form of caron or apostrophe. [u+o30C]
