## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: In the Hebrew alphabet five letters have a special final form at the end of a word. Some old grammarians counted them as extra letters, and the final Heh of God's four-letter name is a special matter in mystical writings. In the primary lessons: maths: the last amount or the last game; «the final score», «final answer», the final result after all steps; sport: the cup final, quarter-finals and semi-finals; school: final tests; stories: the final chapter

### Examples

- Here follow the permutations of the name I H V, which is the Tetragrammaton — Jehovah, without the second or final Heh : IHV is a Tri-grammaton, and is more suitable to the third or Yetziratic plane. (Sefer Yetzirah, Westcott 1893) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/F/final/#x1)
- As is well-known, some old grammarians, among whom was the author of the "Dikduke ha-Teamim"" counted the final letters as separate letters, thus making the total number oi the letters of the alphabet twenty-seven. (Mordell, The Origin of Letters and Numerals according to Sefer Yetzirah (1914)) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/F/final/#x2)
