In this short supplement to [1], we discuss the uplift of half-flat six-folds
to Spin(7) eight-folds by fibration of the former over a product of two
intervals. We show that the same can be done in two ways - one, such that the
required Spin(7) eight-fold is a double G_2 seven-fold fibration over an
interval, the G_2 seven-fold itself being the half-flat six-fold fibered over
the other interval, and second, by simply considering the fibration of the
half-flat six-fold over a product of two intervals. The flow equations one gets
are an obvious generalization of the Hitchin's flow equations (to obtain
seven-folds of G_2 holonomy from half-flat six-folds [2]). We explicitly show
the uplift of the Iwasawa using both methods, thereby proposing the form of the
new Spin(7) metrics. We give a plausibility argument ruling out the uplift of
the Iwasawa manifold to a Spin(7) eight fold at the "edge", using the second
method. For Spin(7) eight-folds of the type X7βΓS1, X7β being a
seven-fold of SU(3) structure, we motivate the possibility of including
elliptic functions into the "shape deformation" functions of seven-folds of
SU(3) structure of [1] via some connections between elliptic functions, the
Heisenberg group, theta functions, the already known D7-brane metric [3] and
hyper-K\"{a}hler metrics obtained in twistor spaces by deformations of
Atiyah-Hitchin manifolds by a Legendre transform in [4].Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX; v3: (JMP) journal version which includes clarifying
