%N Number of reduced words of length n in Coxeter group on 17 generators S_i with relations (S_i)^2 = (S_i S_j)^23 = I.

%C The initial terms coincide with those of A170736, although the two sequences are eventually different.

%C First disagreement at index 23: a(23) = 5261245166962866168321277816, A170736(23) = 5261245166962866168321277952. - Klaus Brockhaus, Apr 19 2011

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