A note on this entry

One of the seventy-two names of the Shem HaMephorash, formed from the three consecutive letters of Exodus 14:19-21 read boustrophedon. The spelling follows the Golden Dawn/Ambelain standard; Reuchlin, Agrippa and Lenain give different Latinised forms. The psalm references follow English/Protestant numbering; the Golden Dawn lecture cites Hebrew numbering, one higher where the superscription is verse 1. Modern tables start the series at Aries 0 with six names per sign at 5 degrees each; the Golden Dawn lecture instead starts at Leo 0 and gives two names to each 10-degree decan. Reuchlin, Agrippa and Rudd treat the 72 as angels ruling the 72 Goetic spirits in nine choirs of eight; Jewish Kabbalah reads the same triads primarily as divine names.
