:
The $s$-component of $\sigma_{w \cdot s}(\alpha_s)$ flips sign under appending $s$: $(w s)\cdot \alpha_s$ has $s$-component $-(w \cdot \alpha_s)_s$.

:
Right-multiplication by $s$ toggles whether $s$ lies in the bilinear-inversion set: $s \in \mathrm{Inv}(w s) \iff s \notin \mathrm{Inv}(w)$, provided the $s$-component is nonzero.
