We consider isolation from side in the structure of 2-computably enumerable wtt-degrees. Intuitively, a 2-computably enumerable degree d is isolated from side if all computably enumerable degrees from its lower cone are bounded by some computably enumerable degree incomparable with d. We prove that any proper 2-computably enumerable wtt-degree is isolated from side by some computable enumerable wtt-degree. We show how this property can be combined with a cone avoidance.
