dc.descriptionAmong ${\cal P}$-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians $H ={\cal P}^{-1} H^\dagger \cal P}$ with real spectra, the ''weakly pseudo-Hermitian" ones (i.e., those employing non-self-adjoint ${\cal P} \neq {\cal P}^\dagger$) form a remarkable subfamily. We list some reasons why it deserves a special attention. In particular we show that whenever ${\cal P} \neq {\cal P}^\dagger$, the current involutive operator of charge ${\cal C}$ gets complemented by a nonequivalent alternative involutive quasiparity operator ${\cal Q}$. We show how, in this language, the standard quantum mechanics is restored via the two alternative inner products in the physical Hilbert space of states, with $<ψ_1|{\cal PQ}|ψ_2>=< ψ_1|{\cal CP}|ψ_2>$.
