Gematria how to spell

it

gematria is a numerological system that assigns numerical values to words and phrases, allowing them to be analyzed in unique ways. It is often used as a tool for spiritual enlightenment or insight and has been employed across faiths and cultures, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. The exact origins of the word are unclear but it is believed to be derived from an ancient Greek word meaning "geometric measurement."

Gematria is based on the idea that all words have an underlying spiritual meaning, which can be detected by assigning each letter of a word or phrase to a specific number of points. To perform a gematria calculation, you need to convert a word or passage into one or more words whose combined numerical value matches your desired result. For example, if you want to find the numerical value of the name "John" using Hebrew gematria (the common form in Judaism), you would assign each letter of "John" with its corresponding numerical value: Yod (10), He (5), Vav (6) and Nun (50). When added together, these letters have a combined numerical value of 71.

To spell "gematria," start by writing down the English phonetic spelling: "gee-muh-tree-uh." Next use the International Phonetic Alphabet symbols for each sound and string them together: /ʤiːˈmʌːtriːə/. This is how gematria might be spelled in other languages as well.
