Multiply the letter's value by ten, reducing thousands back to units: aleph 1 → yod 10 → qof 100 → aleph 1; he 5 → nun 50 → final kaf 500 → he 5; tsadi 90 → final tsadi 900 → tet 9. The name is its first two chains — aleph-yod-qof, bet-kaf-resh.
Ayak-bachar walks a letter up the decimal ladder rather than across the alphabet, so it maps a word into a word of the same shape at ten times the value — a way of reading a lower world's word in a higher one. It is the substitution counterpart of the numeral system itself: every rung is a letter, and the ladder runs 1–10–100–1000 and 5–50–500.
