Notes:

? To avoid confusion with words, letters meant as numbers are sometimes marked with geresh (single quote mark) if a single letter is used, or gerashayim (double quote

mark) if more than one. e.g., 'a g''d w''j ? The numbers 15 and 16 are written as y''j and z''j to avoid writing Name of God.

? In the Scriptures, chapters (perekim) and verses (pesukim) are indicated by means of

Hebrew letters, e.g., g:a tXarb (Gen. 1:3); ak:jyq ~ylht (Psalm 119:21) ? Examples: 7 = 'z 19 = j''y 77 = z''[ 121 = ak''q 613 = g''yrt 921 = ak''qtt ? The Hebrew year is often written with an implied 5,000, so: 5781 = a''pXt
