Literary Primes

Let a number be a literary prime if the both the number itself and the number of letters required to spell the number are prime.

English examples:
two, three, seven, twenty three, thirty seven, seventy nine, one hundred thirty one.


First Bullshit Conjecture: There are an infinite number of literary primes.


German examples:
elf (11), einunddreißig (31), einundvierzig (41)

Mandarin Chinese examples (pinyin):
èr (2), sān (3), qī (7)


Second Bullshit Conjecture: There does not exist a written language that does not have literary primes.
