Abstract
This note has two purposes. First we establish that the map defined in [L, (a)] is an isomorphism for certain admissible sequences. Second we show the map gives rise to a convex basis of Poincar\'e--Birkhoff--Witt (PBW) type for , an affine untwisted quantized enveloping algebra of Drinfeld and Jimbo. The computations in this paper are made possible by extending the usual braid group action by certain outer automorphisms of the algebra.
