I'm afraid I don't see how putting a left parenthesis in front changes it from whatever it was before to a number. (BTW, the example of {vei} in the book, 18.5.10 (437) is a total muck-up of use-mention conventions -- or else this whole thing is more idiotically complex than even I have come to see it to be.  I take it as evidence of the overall confusion in this particular area.)
