The authors consider reflections associated to nonisotropic imaginary roots \(\alpha\) in generalized Kac-Moody algebras. Following \textit{C. D. Bennett} [J. Algebra 158, 244-267 (1993; Zbl 0795.17031)], the authors call such a root special if the reflection \(r_{\alpha}\) stabilizes the root system, the imaginary roots, and the real roots. The authors describe the imaginary roots for the generalized Kac-Moody algebras associated with the generalized Cartan matrix \[ A=\left( \begin{matrix} 2 & -1 & -b\\ -1& 2& -c \\ -b & -c &-2 \end{matrix} \right), \] where \(b,c \in \mathbb N\), and determine some special imaginary roots in the case \(b=c=1\).
