In the movie Pi, a character proposes that the Hebrew language consists entirely of mathmatics. If you've seen the movie you can stop reading the remainder of this paragraph. He gives us an example of how words are related: When the number of letters in the word for "mother"(4) is added with the number of letters in "father" (5) you get nine, which is the number of letters in the word for children. I haven't seen the movie in a few months so I don't remember if he gave any more examples. However, this same character also tells that he is searching for the true name of their god.....which they only know the number of letters in. (And I also can't remember.)
Does anyone know if this is true? Is the Hebrew language really based on numbers, and if so, can you give some other examples?
