%N Number of reduced words of length n in Coxeter group on 30 generators S_i with relations (S_i)^2 = (S_i S_j)^11 = I.

%C The initial terms coincide with those of A170749, although the two sequences are eventually different.

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