Students of Japanese should know about [he no he no mo he ji], if I
remember it correctly. With those katakana, positioning asd scaling
apprepriately, you can make a face. [he no] creates an eye, I think with
an eyebrow.

The word "gematria" comes to mind; also "kabbalah/qabala" (sp?). They are
topics I know very little about.
