ゲマトリアの計算において、単語の数値に対して1桁分を加算または減算できる規則

Scholars debated how strictly the rule of Colel should be applied when interpreting medieval gematria.

意味（1）

(gematria, very rare in print) The rule according to which one digit may be added to or subtracted from the gematric value of a word.

This method can be applied to Hebrew (as well as any other addition- based language). That this method is so laborious may be the reason for the invention of the Qabalistic rule Colel. By the rule of Colel, any word can be equal to any other word by plus or minus one.
