[For the entire collection see Zbl 0716.00007.] Abhyankar and Moh studied plane algebroid curve singularities \(A\) via the characteristic pairs of \(A\) getting a minimal set of generators of the value-semigroup of \(A\). The second named author has generalized this arrangement to \(e\)-dimensional quasiordinary singularities \((e\geq 2)\) associating in this way a semigroup of \({1\over n}\mathbb{N}_ 0^ e\) for some \(n\) with singularities of that type. This semigroup is closely related to the ``distinguished exponents of Lipman in the case of surface singularities \((e=2)\). Lipman proved that the sequence of these exponents is an invariant of \(A\) using resolution arguments. The authors present a valuation theoretic proof for this reformulated fact showing that the above-mentioned semigroup can be defined intrinsically by \(A\) in the case of surface singularities.
