Could you repeat once more what the "INDEX" specification would look like for
phivAdjEntry object ?

If the old table is to be maintained with the new one then I think the
textual names of the objects within the table also need change. Any idea?
My suggestion is to add just the letter "n" after the string "phivAdj" in
all the current textual names. As an example, "phivAdjBlockSize" becomes
"phivAdjnBlockSize". Please, whatever names you give, derive them from the
existing names.
