Resh appears in 2 systems: the same name is used for more than one thing. Both are shown below.
Gematria
Resh
Resh is 'head', one of the seven doubles (r/rh), and the letter of beginning — reshit — and of the head that the tradition's anatomy makes the seat of the soul. Its 200 is the second of the hundreds, and resh is the initial of both rosh and reshit, which the handlists treat as the letter's whole doctrine.
The double pronunciation r/rh marks the seven doubles in the tradition's grammar, though modern Hebrew does not distinguish them. The spelled name is given as ריש (510) or רש (500), so the fills built on it differ.
