[seqfan] Re: A167827 Prime numbers such that the hexadecimal representation use only the digits A, B, C, D, E, F (and not the decimal digits).

But "aa" is an English word, which I have seen in standard American 
English dictionaries.  See http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aa.  I'm sure 
there are others missing.

jvp> In that latter seq, the first primes (as read in base 10) seems to

jvp> A132675 (9) = 173
jvp> no more through
jvp> A132675 (33) .

I get only 5 primes out of the total word list (up to "feed") of the 
Mma code:
44269
173
3499
233811181
4013

The Maple program (to blame is something is wrong)

        cars := convert(w,decimal,16) ;
        if isprime(cars) then
