NOTE:--It is to be remembered that in Hebrew the Vowels are supplied by certain points and marks added to the letters; and that the Transliteration into Roman Letters given in the fifth column of this Table is not intended to give the full power of the Hebrew letters; which is shewn in column two.

Transcription note: The Hebrew letters transcribed T{smallZ, CH, SH and TH (with a drop-capital Z or H) in the book are transcribed Tz, Ch, Sh, and Th respectively in this etext for clarity.--JBH.}


Footnotes

xli:1 (Thousands are denoted by a larger letter; thus an Aleph larger than the rest of the letters among which it is, signifies not I, but 1000.)

xli:2 N.B.--The Finals are not always considered as bearing an increased numerical value.)
