It'd be great if 
we all can help Neil
being more accurate...

My Q is: 
nth or n-th or both?

Here are cases 
(from Recent Additions)
with "nth":

%N A107323 If nth prime is 6m-1, then a(n) = 6m+1. If
nth prime is 6m+1, then a(n) = 6m-1.

%F A107616 Row terms of A077028 are considered as
coefficients to generating functions such that nth row
of A077028 becomes the generator for nth column of
A107616.

%N A107577 a(n)=greatest integer p such that a^p + b^p
> c^p, where (a,b,c) is the nth integer-sided triangle
listed at A107572.

%N A107576 a(n)=perimeter of nth triangle listed at
A107572.

%N A107575 a(n)=greatest sidelength of nth triangle
listed at A107572.

N A107574 a(n)=middle sidelength of nth triangle
listed at A107572.

%N A107573 a(n)=least sidelength of nth triangle
listed at A107572.

%F A106792 1 -> 12, 2 -> 13, 3 -> 1. a(n) is the nth
iteration starting at a(0) = 1.

and another 21 cases with n-th...
