Besides, the numbers game (in Hebrew) only goes so far, doesn't it?
No its infinite. Each letter is itself
formed by other letters and you can find endless
mathematical logic and allegorical wisdom
in it.
I mean, citing your example above, the *real* word for "master" is Hebrew is actually "Baal", isn't it? (beth-ayin-lamed).. According to your algorithm above, that would translate as "house-eye-(whatever lamed stands for)" .. does that really work?
lamed is the tallest letter and is positioned in the center of the Hebrew alphabet ... it can
mean "to learn" or "to teach"
(notice alpha-bet where did that come from ?)

OK, so "Baal" means "house-eye-teach"...
OK... but, "house-eye-teach" still doesn't imply "Master" to me.. ;-)
