We don't capitalise "n" on other "nth" entries.
Not sure the note is needed.

  Comments:
I believe it is accurate to say that these expressions are essentially interchangeable, but that the xref is more common.

xref to help keep these in sync. The glosses should match.

I like "following" but "after" seems more common.  We don't usually do variable substitution, so this is interesting.
