the rote is a tree of odd order, so if you are standing
at the root there are an even number of non-root nodes.

pick one of the nodes that are adjacent to the root.  call it node 1.
the subtree planted on the edge between the root and node 1 is a rote.
call it r_1.

standing at node 1 and looking away from the root (radifugally?) at the
remaining subtrees, there is a unique odd tree among them -- call that
the "exponent" e_1 of r_1.  deleting e_1, the remaining subtree rooted
at node 1 is called the "index" i_1 of r_1.

let numb(r) be the number assigned to the rote r.
then numb(r_1) = (prime(numb(i_1))^numb(e_1).
