Personally, I would omit it entirely. As I said in my comment, it's your choice whether you want to use a title that sounds "strange" in English and is classic in the Latin Languages or follow a more natural style in English.
Omitting it would be what Eugene Nida calls "the dynamic equivalent."

Note from asker:
| You're suggesting that a good chapter title would be, "Considerations on the laryngeal vowels"? Somehow this doesn't sound natural in English. Actually, I was hoping for something a bit less literal |
