Observing renewed interest in long-standing (semi-) relativistic descriptions of two-body bound states, we would like to make a few comments on the eigenvalue problem posed by the spinless Salpeter equation and, illustrated by the examples of the nonsingular Woods–Saxon potential and the singular Hulthén potential, recall elementary tools that, in their quest, practitioners looking for analytic albeit approximate solutions will find useful.
