This is a list of Jewish Babylonian Aramaic and Jewish Palestinian Aramaic acronyms . This list is far from complete you can help by expanding it. Sorting order The entries in each section are sorted according to the Hebrew alphabet. Prefixes indicating prepositions and articles such as , , , , have been removed, with the following exceptions Where the acronym is incomprehensible or meaningless without the prefix Where the prefix is so integral to the acronym that variants without it rarely, if ever, occur Numeronyms Some abbreviations included here are actually gematria Hebrew numeronyms , but the number is so closely associated with some noun that it is grammatically used as a noun and is synonymous with it, for example , Ban. Other abbreviations contain a variable gematria component alongside other words, like the chapter references perek yud alef chapter 11 or perek tet chapter 9 . Rather than list separate entries for every possible gematria, or use only one number for an example, the gematria component is replaced with x to produce for example x .
