    \textit{A. Kuniba} et al. had conjectured certain character formulas of parafermionic spaces associated to the untwisted affine Lie algebras at the positive levels, in [Mod. Phys. Lett. A 8, No. 18, 1649--1659 (1993; Zbl 1021.81843)]. These formulas were proved by Georgiev in the simply laced case [\textit{G. Georgiev}, ``Combinatorial constructions of modules for infinite-dimensional Lie algebras. II: Parafermionic space'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:q-alg/9504024}]. In the present paper the nonsimply laced formula is proved. This is done by constructing parafermionic bases. The authors define a notion of parafermionic space which, in the simply laced cases, coincides with Georgiev's definition. They then use the eigenvalues of the parafermionic basis elements with respect to a certain grading operator \(L_{\Omega}(0)\) to calculate the characters of the parafermionic spaces.
