We prove that the number of right ideals of codimension $n$ in the algebra of noncommutative Laurent polynomials in two variables over the finite field ${{\mathbb{F}}_{q}}$ is equal to
where the sum is over all indecomposable permutations in ${{S}_{n+1}}$ and where inv $\left( \theta \right)$ stands for the number of inversions of $\theta $ .
