		Generally the first two or three numbers are the number of blocks the cross street is from a designator road.
		Numbered streets which are one number apart tend to be about 1/10 mile apart, and buildings between those two streets have numbers between the street numbers times 100--i.e., if 13th St. and 14th St. are east-west streets, buildings on north-south streets which lie between 13th St. and 14th St. have numbers in the range 1300-1399.
		The numbers often ncrease by block (especially in cities and large towns), so 1311 Oak St would be on the 13th block of Oak St, and 1450 Oak would, obviously, be on the 14th block.

	[IRFCA] Indian Railways FAQ: Train Numbers
		In this particular case the reason is that the old numbers for the train were 199/200, and IR has generally tried to retain the last two digits in converting the old numbers to 4-digit numbers.
		The 4-digit system with a unique number (the 'universal number') for each train regardless of the zones that it operates in is a new one, adopted around 1989.
		Numbers were thus not unique across zones, and a given train sometimes changed numbers on the same route as it crossed zonal or other boundaries.

	Verse numbering systems in the Qur'an
		In the Warsh reading the basmala is not counted, and only used "voluntarily" as an extra statement (like the basmala is not counted as a verse in all of the other suras in the Hafs reading either).
		But this system by Fluegel does not correspond to any of the Muslim editions and (being quite late) is not of great interest for understanding the history of this topic, even though Fluegel's text was the Arabic text of the Qur'an (Hafs?).
		But given that they don't mention that it is a different reading and only talk about different numbering, I assume it is hafs, but this is a guess which I cannot substantiate at this time.
