These symmetries?
     Calculation of q =    0.0000000   0.0000000   0.0000000
     Mode symmetry, D_6h(6/mmm) point group
     Calculation of q =    0.0000000   0.1443376   0.0000000
     Mode symmetry, C_2v (mm2)  point group
     Calculation of q =    0.0000000   0.2886751   0.0000000
     Mode symmetry, C_2v (mm2)  point group
     Calculation of q =    0.0000000   0.4330127   0.0000000
     Mode symmetry, C_2v (mm2)  point group
     Calculation of q =    0.0000000  -0.5773503   0.0000000
     Mode symmetry, D_2h (mmm)  point group
     Calculation of q =    0.1250000   0.2165064   0.0000000
     Mode symmetry, C_2v (mm2)  point group
"Mode symmetry" means symmetry subgroup that leaves that wave-vector q
unchanged.
