We assert that the one-site Cu(1)-O(4) model, suggested in the Comment by Thomsen and Cardona [Phys. Rev. B 47, 12 320 (1993)] is inconsistent with polarized x-ray-absorption fine-structure and diffraction results. We also show that the two-site Cu(1)-O(4) distribution is not inconsistent with optical measurements, although a rigid double-well modeling of this distribution is [Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 3236 (1992)].
