A281068 a(1) = 1. a(n) is the smallest natural number that is not already in the sequence such that the name of a(n) in English starts with the letter a(n-1) ends with, and a(n) makes the sequence extendable.

Examples
If a(4) were 100 (one hundred, which ends with d), it would make the sequence finite. Therefore, a(4) has to be 101.
