The orbits of Weyl groups W(An) of simple An-type Lie algebras are reduced to the union of orbits of the Weyl groups of maximal reductive subalgebras of An. Matrices transforming points of the orbits of W(An) into points of subalgebra orbits are listed for all cases n ≤ 8 and for the infinite series of algebra–subalgebra pairs AnAnk−1 × Ak × U1, A2nBn, A2n−1Cn, A2n−1Dn. Numerous special cases and examples are shown.
