Numerals

Hey y'all, I was looking at Janhunen 2003, and he mentions that no length contrast in vowels is reconstructible for Proto-Mongolic, so I was curious as to why this article had macrons on some of the vowels in its list of numerals, which was almost its only content when I found it. On the pages where he gives the reconstructed numerals, all the ones ending in *n have a slash like so: "nike/n". I interpreted this as saying that the *n is uncertain; Janhunen is opaque, though, only saying "the unstable */n". Anyway, I am certainly no expert on Mongolic languages, so feel free to correct and expand anything I did.
