Franco פרנקו

Franco is a first name, written פרנקו in Hebrew (male given name). In the Torah codes, Franco is found 1,636 times across every skip (2–76,212), the shortest at skip 20 (Genesis 25:1) — 5.1% above the 1,556 chance alone would give (probability of 1,636 or more by chance alone: 0.02).

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 5 letters (2–76,212), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 225 found · chance alone about 197 (probability of 225 or more by chance alone: 0.03).

In the Torah

The Torah holds 1,636 sequences of פרנקו across every skip (2–76,212), 5.1% above what chance alone gives (about 1,556); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.02 by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 20 — at Genesis 25:1, reading forward.

The longest skip at which פרנקו was found in the Torah is 73,976 — at Deuteronomy 34:2, reading backward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range

5 of the 1,636 sequences, chosen across the range of skips — the shortest, mid-range skips and the longest found — each with its verse and its matrix.

Under each example, every letter of the sequence is listed with the verse it stands in. A letter falls in its verse by position alone — one letter every so many letters of the text — so the verses are where the letters stand, not part of the sequence's meaning.
