I've played with that a little as well. No earth-shattering results. I did find the following: LIBER AL vel LEGIS sub figura CCXX as delivered by XCIII = 418 to DCLXVI C 100 Kaph 20 C 100 Kaph 20 X 10 Cheth 8 X 10 Cheth 8 ------------------------- 220 (# of 56 (Nu) verses in AL) X Cheth 8 C Kaph 20 I Aleph 1 I Aleph 1 I Aleph 1 ----------------- 93 31 D 500 4 C 100 20 L 50 30 X 10 8 V 5 6 I 1 10 ----------------- 666 78 (Mezla) RD> Is the reason people don't just cause there aren't enough RD> letter/number combos?
