A108548
Fully multiplicative with a(prime(j)) = A108546(j), where A108546 is the lexicographically earliest permutation of primes such that after 2 the forms 4*k+1 and 4*k+3 alternate, and prime(j) is the j-th prime in A000040.

Multiplicative with a(2^e) = 2^e, else if p is the m-th prime then a(p^e) = q^e where q is the m/2-th prime of the form 4*k + 3 (A002145) for even m and a(p^e) = r^e where r is the (m-1)/2-th prime of the form 4*k + 1 (A002144) for odd m. - David A. Corneth, Apr 25 2022
