%N Number of reduced words of length n in Coxeter group on 37 generators S_i with relations (S_i)^2 = (S_i S_j)^17 = I.

%C The initial terms coincide with those of A170756, although the two sequences are eventually different.

%C First disagreement at index 17: a(17) = 294470461068016832722500966, A170756(17) = 294470461068016832722501632. - _Klaus Brockhaus_, Mar 28 2011

%C Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
