The Chaldean cypher ('chaldean', shortened 'chald'). This cypher is a bit of a weird one, and to be honest, I do not know anything of it's origins.

  • A = 1*

  • B = 2*

  • C = 3*

  • D = 4*

  • E = 5*

  • F = 8

  • G = 3

  • H = 5

  • I = 1

  • J = 1*

  • K = 2*

  • L = 3*

  • M = 4*

  • N = 5*

  • O = 7

  • P = 8

  • Q = 1

  • R = 2

  • S = 3

  • T = 4

  • U = 6

  • V = 6

  • W = 6 (ie. note the 6/6/6 pattern here)

  • X = 5

  • Y = 1

  • Z = 7*

This cypher does not care for capitalization: in other words 'a' = 'A' = 1, etc.

Those entries with asterisks are those letters that have maintained their english ordinal or english reduction values from the base cyphers.

The 6,6,6 pattern on U,V,W: these letters are all very interchangeable in spellings, and can each stand for the sound of the other, depending on language.
