  I'm going through some old rating lists  
  <https://ratings.fide.com/download.phtml?period=2001-01-01> to be precise  
  and came across these flags  
  **'i', 'ie', 'in', 'n', 'w', 'wi', 'win', 'wn'**
  
  I know that `i = inactive`, `w = woman` and `wi = woman+inactive`  
  but what do `ie`, `in`, `n`, `win` and `wn` mean. I.e. basically what do the letters `n` and `e` mean?
