alison, in case you're not reading there anymore:

yes.

it's also notated g^. remember, in a pythagorean-based notation such
as this, traditional interval names have meaning. ^ or v is the
diatonic semitone in 22-equal. a flat or sharp is the chromatic
semitone, as always. the diatonic semitone plus the chromatic
semitone always equals the whole tone. here, this means 1 + 3 = 4.
keep this in mind as you ponder the notation.
