%N Number of reduced words of length n in Coxeter group on 11 generators S_i with relations (S_i)^2 = (S_i S_j)^18 = I.

%C The initial terms coincide with those of A003953, although the two sequences are eventually different.

%C First disagreement at index 18: a(18) = 1099999999999999945, A003953(18) = 1100000000000000000. - _Klaus Brockhaus_, Mar 27 2011

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