According to a popular tradition, still tough in Egypt and North Africa, the �Arab� figures would be the invention of a glazier geometrician originating in the Maghreb, which would have imagined to give to the nine significant figures an evocative form depending on the number of the angles contained in the drawing of each one of them: an angle for the graphics of figure 1, two angles for figure 2, three angles for the 3, and so on: We will have the following format: This remained after nine and zero as they are. Make turn around eight, six, five, four, three and one. Reverse number two and the figure of seven. The delivery of some of these forms to each other, without change in the arrangement, we get this form: This is an Arabic sentence meaning: My goal is calculation (������ �����) in Kufi line (This name called on all lines, which tend to location and engineering). With that zero is the stillness. To return at Alphabetic numerals Abjad we find that seven letters of this sentence ������ ����� is units in the table of Abjad numerals Source(s): |
