%N A072959 a(n) = the name of n evaluated in base 27, using blank=0, hyphen=0, A=1, 
               B=2,... Z=26.
%C A072959 English name for the number n transliterated into Lee Sallows' base-27 
               system.

%F A072959 In Sallows' system, space = 0, A = 1, B = 2, etc. to Z = 26, so that 
               words and phrases, even number names, can be transformed into numbers
%e A072959 a(1) = 11318 because o(729) + n(27) + e = 10935 + 378 + 5 = 11318
%e A072959 a(2) = 15216 because "TWO" in base 27 gives 20*27^2+23*27+15 = 15216.
