Gemytria allows the numeric value of words to be computed when the
language in which those words are written have numeric value. Such
languages include Hebrew, Persian, Arabic, Classic Greek, and others.

Thus, given a word in that language, each letter in the word having
a numerical value allows the numerical value of the word to be
computed.

Gemytria is a Greek word whose meaning has escaped me. It's been
a long while.
