The author proves that for an element \(\alpha\) of an irreducible root system \(\Phi\) the number of roots in \(\Phi\) that are not orthogonal to \(\alpha\) is \(4g-6\) if \(\alpha\) is a long root and \(4g^\vee-6\) if \(\alpha\) is a short root, where \(g\) is the dual Coxeter number of \(\Phi\), and \(g^\vee\) is the dual Coxeter number of the dual root system \(\Phi^\vee\). This investigation also yields some other curious formulas involving dual Coxeter numbers.
