Response to inquiry of Meyer Steinberg (?) by private mail on the calculation
of "mispar kattan". I tried mailing you an answer, but the path I had was bad,
and could not deliver the message. Please send me new mail so that I can
correct the path.

-----------------------------------------
Meyer :

 As I understand it, "mispar kattan" is computed by adding up all the digits
in the number (or in the gematriyah), looping until the result is less than
10; i.e., repeat adding the digits into a sum, until sum < 10.

 Is this more clear than before ? If not, please write back and I'll try
to clarify it to the best of my ability.
