          Selection of Hebrew Words
          As representative words for sound and light, we have selected words that are asso-
                                                                       39
          ciated with the weather. For light, the Hebrew name for rainbow, keshet,  which
          is supposed to represent all colors of the visible spectrum, was selected. For sound,
                                         40
          the Hebrew name for thunder, raam,  was selected.
            The respective frequency numerical values (FNV) are

               39
          Keshet  (rainbow):
                        800 = (400 = ת) + (300 = ש) + (100 = ק)


               40
          Raam  (thunder):

                         310 = (40 = ם) + (70 = ע) + (200 = ר)

             36
          Yom  (day): see section 12.4.1.

            With log-frequency as the response, Figure 12.7 displays the highly significant

          results (model F-ratio  of 457.5, p = 0.02974).

          While the Hebrew words keshet  (for light) and yom  (for day) are unique and
          cannot be replaced by other Hebrew words, it is not so with the Hebrew word
                                                               40
          that represents sound. One may question the selection of raam  and offer other
                                                                41
          terms. Therefore, we have selected another word for sound, shaon  (noise), which
                                                                     41
          appears eighteen times in the Bible. Introducing the FNV of shaon  into the
          linear regression equation results in a predicted value of about 2000 Hz, which is
          well within the human audible spectrum.
                     These are all coincidences … or maybe not.
