(comment)	As explained in the references, 若番 is actually an abbreviation of 若い番号. On the whole, the clumsier English equivalent would seem to prefer to use the plural, hence the (s) in the "meanings" entry.

If it turns out that WWWJDIC already has this, I'll eat my browser (to punish it for failing to search properly).
