Ooops - "dain dain" would actually be "7 7" - ie, 77 or perhaps 7x7. But 
the principle remains the same. :-)

Also: "ar", "air", and "aiir" might encode "1st", "2nd", and "3rd" (etc).

Note that if this is true, then it is quite possible that one or other of 
"a(i*)r" and "a(i*)n" only appears within numbers, whereas the other one 
would also be used in words containing "i".
