[PW] Visa and the number of the beast

[Wendy Miller]

Given the number of languages spoken in the modern world, not even considering *dead* languages, I would think almost any random word could be construed to *spell out" 666 or 666666, etc., in a combination of languages. So, whether or not Visa can be interpreted as 666 is not so important as how many other words also can be.  And, more important, how many other words can Visa be interpreted as, applying other languages?

A print resource on numerology might be helpful here:
The complete idiot's guide to numerology / Lagerquist, Kay and Lenard, Lisa; New York: Alpha Books,1999.
The mystery of numbers / Annemarie Schimmel;  Franz Carl Endres; New York: Oxford University Press, 1993.

Dear All,



I have a customer who wants to know if VISA really does spell out 666 in
a combination of Latin, Greek, and a third language.  I have found two
websites that uphold the statement,
http://novusordoseclorum.com/666.words.html and
http://www.thenazareneway.com/666_the_number_of_the_beast.htm.  However,
I have not been able to find anything from a non-religious source that
would either verify or debunk that "A" in Chaldean/Sanskrit/Babylonian
was also used to represent the number 6.  Can anyone help?



Thanks,

Lisa
