Worked example
Letter-by-letterTo calculate a word, you take each letter’s value and add them together.
الله
ا = 1
ل = 30
ل = 30
ه = 5
Total = 1 + 30 + 30 + 5 = 66
ل = 30
ل = 30
ه = 5
Total = 1 + 30 + 30 + 5 = 66
The calculator does the same summation automatically, and will warn you if it encounters characters outside the standard Abjad set.
