✦ Synopsis
We investigate the Lie structure of the Lie superalgebra K of skew elements of a unital simple associative superalgebra A with superinvolution over a field of characteristic not 2. It is proved that if A is more than 16-dimensional over its w x center Z, then any Lie ideal U of K satisfies either U : Z or U = K, K ; w x w x moreover, any Lie ideal U of K, K satisfies either U : Z or U s K, K . In w x Ž w x. particular, K, K r Z l K, K is a simple Lie superalgebra.
