Gematria (Geometry)

This is also known as Gematria (Aramaic), or geometry (of letters and numbers). Similar approach can also be found in other cultures, namely Indian (India ⬅️ thanks to Columbus, Cristoforo Colombo, CristÃģbal ColÃģn, and so forth), Chinese, and the derivations, but using their own developed systems. Although different in languages, but the perspectives are usually equivalent, since the observed object is our own realm — the geo, the earth. Well, specifically, the humans'... things. How things are interconnected... within... it. Mm. Very elaborate. Absolutely sophisticated.

Numbers are the language of angels. Some said it. I said it. Angels as in not human, beyond human. And or but, there are categories for them. Like us, the whole spectrum of us.

Think numbers and words are like the skeleton and flesh in a human. ⬇️

Numbers = the skeleton, structural foundation, concise, rigid. Firmly consistent.

Words = the flesh, crafty, absolutely flexible, and full of rubbish, even. Very artful.

ANC only works for numeral and A-Z alphabet (and ampersand — & character — only for Jewish Ordinal version).

English words are recommended for calculation, since the world theatre is mostly presented in English. Quite.

Standard Hebrew Numeric

The Hebrew numerical is as such:

For tens, like 11, 12, 13, ..., 19, it is adding yod (Ũ™ value 10) with the unit number (same with twenties, thirties, hundreds, and so forth).

Let's see couple examples:

  1. 12 = 10 + 2 ➡️ Ũ™Ũ‘ (consists of yod and bet, read it from RIGHT to LEFT). 12 is pronounced as shneyim-'asar (masculine) and shteyim-'esre (feminine).

    In Arabic, 12 is athnay eashar (اِØŦْŲ†Ø§ ØđَØīَØąَ) — one version.

  2. 17 = 10 + 7 ➡️ Ũ™Ũ– (consists of yod and zayin), shiv'a-'asar (masculine) and shva'-'esre (feminine).

    In Arabic, 17 is sbet eshr (ØģØĻØđØĐ ØđØīØą) — one version.

Except for 15 and 16. In Hebrew, those numbers do not use the addition with yod.

15 is Ũ˜״Ũ• — tet and vav with a gershayim or a double geresh (״) — to denote that it is a number.

Arithmetic ➡️ tet (9) + vav (6) ➡️ 9 + 6 = 15.

16 is Ũ˜״Ũ– — tet and zayin also with a gershayim.

Arithmetic ➡️ tet (9) + zayin (7) ➡️ 9 + 7 = 16.

The restriction is applied to avoid the confusion for the writing of:

  • Ũ™Ũ”Ũ•Ũ” (YHWH, Tetragrammaton, consists of 4 letters),
  • Ũ™ַŨ”ְŨ•ֶŨ” (Yahweh),
  • Ũ™ְŨ”ֹŨ•ָŨ” (Yehovah), and
  • ŨֲŨ“ֹŨ ָŨ™ (Adonai).

Related to Elohim (ŨֱŨœֹŨ”ִŨ™Ũ), Elyon (ŨĒŨœŨ™Ũ•ŨŸ) — names of God in Judaism.

Related to El (ŨŨœ), deity in Canaanite religion.

The masculine / feminine cardinal is only used for 1 through 19. When to use the masculine or the feminine depends on the described noun. If it has no such noun, then the feminine version is used, like a page number of a book.

In Arabic numerals, gender matters when numbers describe nouns, especially 1-19. If there's no noun (like page numbers), there's no strict masculine / feminine rule.

Plus other syntax rules when involving adjective and ordinal (first, second, third, ...). 0 and number ≥20 only use one version of each. Well, I suppose you could learn more about Hebrew (and Arabic, as comparison) on another place.

Gender-Based Grammar

About the neutering in English, it's simply because English omits the grammatical gender. Because... plural of deer is deer, beside — besides, and so on.

Sod all that gender lark — we'll just call everything "it" and be done with it!

⬆️ An excerpt from "Sir English: the Saga". 🎎

⬆️ At least in the Indo-European and Semitic families, gender-based languages are older than the neutered ones (e.g. English).

Gender-based languages (like Sanskrit, Greek, Latin — left to right system) are older than their neutered descendants (like English or Hindi). Though Sanskrit has no direct connection to Phoenician, especially the spoken language itself. ðŸĪ” But of course, there's always the WanderwÃķrter phenomenon, wandering words.

The Phoenicians came up with letters first before everyone else — well, as a practical writing system.

After all, we do NOT see Egyptian hieroglyphs or Sumerian cuneiform being used NOW, ever.

I put the "ever" there with a comma, because it needs a bloody emphasis. Since using Sumerian cuneiform in today's language is like Tesco in Dubai is using kanji to display discounted melons imported from a river. Imagine that.

Everyone was speaking to each other, memorising, no consensus of writing system at first.

You know, after... the Nimrod incident?

The writing system in each culture was built gradually, eventually. Some borrowed letters from the Phoenicians.

Specifically Sanskrit, "no direct connection to Phoenician", but possibly borrowed from a Semitic script — Aramaic or even a South Semitic trade script, brought through merchant contact. So, that. Because during 9th to 4th century BC, Aramaic was enormously widespread as a trade and diplomatic language across the Near East and into Central Asia, so contact with Indian merchants was practically inevitable.

Perhaps as such:

Phoenician. ➡️ Aramaic. ➡️ Possibly Brahmi. ➡️ Devanagari. ➡️ Sanskrit's written form.

Big "possibly". So well, simply a hunch.

Anyhow, Aramaic was already right to left, the Brahmi went LEFT to RIGHT.

Somewhere in that — Actually, we're going the other way, cheers! ⬅️ from this enormous "possibly" hunch.

Comparable to the ancient Greeks, borrowed and modified the Phoenician bits, flipped the writing direction. Have a look at the Alphabet post.

But! Chinese, Austroasiatic, and Tai-Kadai languages show that gender isn't a universal feature. They're just different from the beginning.

Quite. Thus, English — the Mighty English — is mighty. Baffling.

Writing Systems

Back to ANC. The Hebrew numeral writing — the method for presenting a number — is similar to old Greek or old Armenian method, but this has right-to-left composition.

Right. Let's have a look at the world's writing systems, briefly. Pay attention to their writing orientations. Quite diverse and interesting.

Categories:

  • Abjad

    The Arabic letter system for writing is called Abjad (Arabic: Alif, Ba, Ta, Tha, Jim, Ha, Kha, Dal, Dhal, ...). "Abjad" is from Alif, Ba, Jim, and Dal (old Semitic order of the Arabic script). The writing orientation is RIGHT to LEFT ( ⬅️ ).

    Similar orientation with the Hebrew writing system, the script is called Alef-bet — from the first two letters, Alef and Bet.

    There's also Perso-Arabic script, similar right-to-left orientation. It is mainly used in Iran and Afghanistan.

    All of them are abjads. Abjad, as in a consonantal writing system.

  • Alphabet

    The Armenian, Greek, Cyrillic, etc.., and A to Z (Latin) is called Alphabetic system. Alphabetic writing always goes from LEFT to RIGHT ( ➡️ ).

    This system has vowels instead of just consonants.

  • Logographic

    Kanji, Kana, Hanja, ... (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, ...) is called (syllable-based) Logographic. It typically implements TOP to BOTTOM and RIGHT to LEFT orientation ( ⬇️ ⬅️ ).

    But nowadays, it can also be done LEFT to RIGHT similar to Latin (A-Z) writing orientation ( ➡️ ).

  • Avugida

    Sanskrit, Tamil, Khmer, Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, Batak, Thai, Lao, Inuit, Tifinagh, ... is called Abugida (Avugida).

    Avugida system usually applies LEFT to RIGHT orientation ( ➡️ ).

The categorisation was made not by me, but by not me.

The final, clean, structured categorisation was done by Daniels (Peter Thomas Daniels) and Bright (William Oliver Bright) in 90s — The World's Writing Systems (1996), Oxford University Press.

Because we are observing the English language — also for other languages with A to Z letters only — so the Hebrew-letter mapping is not included in ANC.

English is brilliant at certain degrees. You feel that?

Arithmetic


This tool will add all values from each character and then simplify that into one digit number, 1 through 9. Except if you type just 0 and / or non-letter or non-number.

All of them use the same arithmetic to simplify the number.


Example for Pythagorean version:

Let's calculate this word: YES

In A-Z, "Y" is at position (index) 25, "E" is 5, and "S" is 19.

The sum from addition of the actual indexes is called "ORIGINAL TOTAL". And the result from the addition of the "reduced" indexes is called "REDUCED TOTAL".

Reducing is as such:

any number above 9 can be simplified into one digit (1-9).

For example: 12, the reduced version of 12 ➡️ 1 + 2 = 3.

Thus, the calculation of the word "YES" goes like this (in Pythagorean version):

ORIGINAL TOTAL ➡️ 25 + 5 + 19 = 49

REDUCED TOTAL ➡️ 7 + 5 + 1 = 13

ISOPSEPHY (from original total 49) ➡️ 4 + 9 = 13 ➡️ 1 + 3 = 4

ISOPSEPHY (from reduced total 13) ➡️ 1 + 3 = 4

Both original total and reduced total will always have the same isopsephy.


In computer programming (any language not just JavaScript), finding isopsephy is using modulus operator (%). The modulus operator in modulo operation is to find the remainder of the division. For instance, 3 ÷ 2 has a remainder of 1, or 3 % 2 = 1.


Operation in programming, for example:

Isopsephy of 49 (base-10, use the largest digit for the divisor, 9) ➡️ 49 % 9 = 4

But be careful, because 9 % 9 = 0 or 45 % 9 = 0, therefore, you need to put if to check the input first before doing the operation.


So finding isopsephy can be done by doing looping addition, or using modulo operation. So then, with that knowledge, without doing any division, the remainder of 113 ÷ 9 can be calculated by adding all single digits in 113 ➡️ 1 + 1 + 3 = 5.


For division of multiples of 9 by 9, like 113211 ÷ 9 ➡️ 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9. Since the addition yields the divisor itself (9), meaning the division has no remainders.


This method works only for division by 9 (largest digit of decimal). It doesn't work for any other number (as the divisor). Unless you're doing something in a different numeral base system.


Zero (0), by definition, is the representation of nothing. When zero (0) is divided or multiplied by other non-zero, the result will be zero. Zero multiplied by zero is zero, non-zero divided by zero is undefined, and zero divided by zero is indeterminate.
