Talk:Grammar, Arithmology, And Isopsephy

Re: clarification
It is a start on a book about gematria, temurah, notarikon in the context of any language in which the alphabet traditionally doubled as numbers before the cultures had number characters, or at least their alphabets traditionally have numbers assigned to all letters so the 'value' of each word can be defined. That 'value' in text is evaluated in the context of both 'religion & mythology' and Philosophy (at least the depth level of Theosophy.) Such arithmology is used to analyze both mythography (lit of religion of the masses except when the myths have reasonable--invariably esoteric--Philosophical scientific meaning) and 'Perennial Philosophy' (the few deep-thinking Philosophers agreeing across most/all eras and cultures, and who also analyze lit/mythography) the latter of who would have most use for this book, though neither the 'religious' nor 'scientific' masses have much/any use.

I had written 1/2 more of the above paragraph and 2 more (in the previous edit of this page) but would like to know what was not clarified. Perhaps the above is enough.--Dchmelik (talk) 13:20, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

this entry is misclassified
I don't really think this should be on the linguistics page. It has nothing at all to do with the science of linguistics or the emprical study of language. It belongs in the same bin as numerology and other such things, wherever those are kept.68.149.172.95 (discuss) 04:04, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed! In the absence of a more suitable bin, I moved it to "Folk religion" for now. Recent Runes (discuss • contribs) 10:41, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
