== The Arabic-Abjad counting system should have a variant working similarly to Hebrew ==
Hello

This is super cool .

Arabic letters *do* have numbers associated with them in what is called حساب الجمل Hisab al-Jumal , the Count of Sentences.

Here is the English wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abjad_numerals#Letter_values 

Here is the Arabic wikipedia page which is for once is actually useful with actual examples of usage in poetry puns: https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/حساب_الجمل

I do not know the rules myself, but the Arabic Wikipedia mentions that numbers go bigger to smaller. So غ , being 1000, would be at the start, while multiples of 1000 are said multiple *followed by* غ .
