Thank you for your question. I have followed the present Syro Malabar structure, already recommended by Mateos and put it as the final prayer of Lelya. The same for sapra on weekdays. I have done this also in the proper of the seasons for the special slawata on certain Sundays and feasts. I will add a footnote later to specify this. Your observation is very useful.
