%N Number of reduced words of length n in Coxeter group on 4 generators S_i with relations (S_i)^2 = (S_i S_j)^19 = I.

%C The initial terms coincide with those of A003946, although the two sequences are eventually different.

%C First disagreement at index 19: a(19) = 1549681950, A003946(19) = 1549681956.

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