%N Number of reduced words of length n in Coxeter group on 9 generators S_i with relations (S_i)^2 = (S_i S_j)^18 = I.
%C The initial terms coincide with those of A003951, although the two sequences are eventually different.
%C First disagreement at index 18: a(18) = 20266198323167196, A003951(18) = 20266198323167232. - _Klaus Brockhaus_, Mar 27 2011
%C Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
