No.
No lost file or somesuch.
I didn't and don't _want_ to participate in this project at any level other than helpful suggestion, although this is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, much to my dismay.
Thank you very much H.I. [I forgive you anyway].

I work in Bizarre ways. I leave Mysterious to someone else.

I'm not discounting the idea actually, and I think I even stated it was interesting. I had already looked into it, and from what I have seen, it even _sort-of_ fits to a degree---but is not the end-all-beat-all answer to the question.
There is the Mysterious jump from 3 to 7 [leaving the Mysterious number of 4---coincidentally or not, the number of _named_ Maia Orc-Lords].

Both and neither---according to your interpretation of Spirits.
