The number 217 has become quite significant to me in the last few months. I've already done some work with gematria and correspondences (using 777 and Sepher Sephiroth as well as some online sources and the appendix of Achad's QBL), so I know a lot of the basics. I guess I was just hoping to solicit anything anyone's worked out on this number. It doesn't seem to be one that's gotten much attention anywhere. I don't have much in Greek and nothing in Latin, so that would be great, if anyone's got anything there.
Also, is there anyone here who can comment on whether or not NMLA YVMM (something like "filled by day"--217 also, or 777 by mem-final) is correctly formed Hebrew? I've seen the correspondence in a couple of online gematria sites, but can't track down any source for it. The individual words both appear in the Old Testament, but not together. It's a nice correspondence with the lines I've been working along...
