EXAMPLE

a(1) = 1 by definition.
a(2) = 4 because "one" plus "four" has 3 + 4 = 7 letters, with 7 prime.
a(3) = 5 because "one" plus "four" plus "five" gives 3 + 4 + 4 = 11, a prime.
a(4) = 11 because "one" plus "four" plus "five" plus "eleven" gives 3 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 17 is prime.
a(5) = 12 because "one" plus "four" plus "five" plus "eleven" plus "twelve" gives 3 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 = 23 is prime.
a(6) = 13 because "one" plus "four" plus "five" plus "eleven" plus "twelve" plus "thirteen" gives 3 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 8 = 31 is prime.
a(7) = 24 because "one" plus "four" plus "five" plus "eleven" plus "twelve" plus "thirteen" plus "twentyfour" gives 3 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 41 is prime.
a(8) = 73 because "one" plus "four" plus "five" plus "eleven" plus "twelve" plus "thirteen" plus "twentyfour" plus "seventythree" gives 3 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 = 53 is prime.
a(9) = 1103 because "one" plus "four" plus "five" plus "eleven" plus "twelve" plus "thirteen" plus "twentyfour" plus "seventythree" plus "one thousand one hundred three" gives 3 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 26 = 79 is prime.
a(10) = 1115 "one" plus "four" plus "five" plus "eleven" plus "twelve" plus "thirteen" plus "twentyfour" plus "seventythree" plus "one thousand one hundred three" plus "one thousand one hundred fifteen" gives 3 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 26 + 28 = 107 is prime.
