%N Total number of letters in the preceding terms spelled out in French.

%C Form a sequence of French words as follows: look to the left, towards the beginning of the sequence and write down the number of letters you see; repeat; then replace the words by the corresponding numbers.

%C The sequence of words is: zero, quatre, dix, treize, dix-neuf, vingt-six, trente-quatre, quarante-six, cinquante-sept, ...

%C Hyphens, accents and spaces are not counted.

%C For an English version see A139097.

%D E. Angelini, "Jeux de suites", in Dossier Pour La Science, pp. 32-35, Volume 59 (Jeux math'), April/June 2008, Paris.

%e The first word is "zero", because initially there are no letters to the left. The second word is "quatre" (and so a(2)=4), because at the end of the first word we can see four letters to the left. And so on.
