4 IS REPRESENTED BY "R," because it terminates the word _four_ in
several languages. Ai{r} = 4. A and i are vowels, and count for no figure
value in Air, and hence that word represents only the figure 4. Wi{r}e = 4,
{R}ow = 4, Wo{r}{t} = 41, W{r}a{th} = 41, Wo{r}{th} = 41, {R}i{d}e = 41,
Hei{r}{s} = 40, {R}ui{n}{s} = 420, {R}oa{s}{t} = 401, {R}u{m} = 43,
{R}oa{r} = 44, {S}au{c}e{r} = 004, {S}wo{r}{d}{s}{m}a{n} = 041032,
{R}a{z}o{r}{s} = 4040, A{r}i{s}e{n} = 402, He{r}{m}i{t}{s} = 4310.
1. In translating a word into figures, what do we always do?
2. By what letters is the figure 1 represented?
3. Why does "t" stand for 1?
4. When does the letter "h" have a figure value?
5. By what is 2 represented?
6. Why?
7. How do we represent 3?
8. Why?
9. By what consonant is 4 represented?
10. Why?
5 IS REPRESENTED BY "L," because in the Roman alphabet L stood for 50,
and we disregard the cipher and make it stand for 5 only--as, Oi{l} = 5.
O and i, being vowels, may be _used_ in a word, but having no figure
value, do not change the numerical value of the word; therefore the
figure value of "oi{l}" is 5, the same as though the "l" stood alone.
{L}ay = 5, {L}aw = 5, Ho{l}y = 5, Awhi{l}e = 5, Whee{l} = 5,
{L}i{t} = 51, Wea{lth} = 51, {L}a{d} = 51, {S}o{l}o = 05,
{S}a{l}e{s} = 050, {S}{l}owe{r} = 054, {L}a{n}e = 52, A{l}o{n}e = 52,
{L}a{m}a = 53, Ea{r}{l}ie{r} = 454, Who{l}e{s}a{l}e = 505,
U{n}{m}i{l}i{t}a{r}y{n}e{s}s = 2351420.
6 IS REPRESENTED BY "SH," "J," "CH," AND "G^soft." WE HAVE THE LETTER
VALUES OF 6, THROUGH THE INITIAL CONSONANTS OF THE PHRASE: (Six), {Sh}y
{J}ewesses {Ch}ose {G}eorge. In the following words, the vowels have no
figure value, hence in translation are never counted. {Sh}ow = 6,
{J}oy = 6, Ha{tch} = 6, Hu{g}e = 6, {S}a{g}e = 06, {Ch}ea{t}{s} = 610,
{Sh}e{d} = 61, {Sh}ea{th} = 61, {Sh}o{t} = 61, {G}i{n} = 62,
{Sh}i{n} = 62, {J}ea{n} = 62, {Ch}i{n} = 62, {G}e{m} = 63, {J}a{m} = 63,
{Sh}a{m}e = 63, {Ch}i{m}e = 63, U{sh}e{r} = 64, {J}u{r}y = 64,
{Ch}ai{r} = 64, Wa{g}e{r} = 64, {Sh}a{l}l = 65, {J}ai{l} = 65,
{Ch}i{l}l = 65, {G}e{ntl}e = 6215, {J}ewi{sh} = 66.
