779 places — towns, regions, rivers, mountains and lands — named in the twenty-four books, derived from the proper-noun tagging of our own corpus and not from a list somebody typed. They are all in Every Name in Tanakh as well; this is the same list, narrowed.

Where these come from. Every name in the full list is a word our corpus tags as a proper noun in the Westminster Leningrad Codex morphology, grouped so that בית לחם counts as one name and not two. What each one is — a person, a place, a people — is read from the lexicon's own definition, and where that definition names two senses the row says so. The gematria is computed by the same engine that runs every search, and the count on each row is the number of verses that door opens — the same walk, counted once.
