9 is 'unknown'
10 is 'alone'
99 was used (almost?) exclusively before BABASE, when individual males were
getting their own personal number for a while when they were alone. In the
groups table, 99 is indicated 'individual males'. It would seem that
eventually, 99's would go to 10 after we confirmed that this was
appropriate. The other numbers for individual males must have been
converted to 10 when BABASE was created as no current entries in census or
members has numbers between 13 and 99 (catherine just checked).
In any case, 99 is not appropriate for this situation. I don't know that
we can assume that Mwezi was alone, even if we consider a mom w/i alone.
