# Gematria ciphers

`POST /kabbalah/gematria`

Seven standard ciphers over a Hebrew text: absolute, large, small, ordinal, inclusive, AtBash and AlBam. Vowel points and cantillation are stripped; a final letter counts as its ordinary form in the absolute value and as 500-900 in the large one, and both are returned rather than one being chosen.
