%N Nonsquares k such that A377938(k) is not a prime.

%C Numbers k such that k is a primitive root modulo some nonprime x > k but not modulo any prime between k and x.

%C Numbers k such that 0 < A377938(k) < A023049(k).

%e a(3) = 7 is a term because 7 is a primitive root mod 10, while the least prime > 7 for which 7 is a primitive root is 11.
