%N Smallest positive integer containing the n-th letter of the alphabet in German, including the umlauts and ß (sharp s), but treating the letters a, o, u separately from their umlauted versions, or -1 if no such integer exists.

%C Umlauts are considered distinct letters, so the smallest number containing an "o" is "eine Million", not "zwölf". Uses long scale as usual in German.

%C The values for n=27, ..., 30 refer to the letters ä, ö, ü, ß which are usually appended, in this order, at the end of the German alphabet.
