Rama רמה
Rama is a first name, written רמה in Hebrew (female given name). In the Torah codes, Rama is found 21,056,437 times across every skip (2–152,424), the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 20:10) — 0.6% above the 20,924,939 chance alone would give (probability of 21,056,437 or more by chance alone: 1.2 × 10⁻¹⁸¹).

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 1,342,771 found · chance alone about 1,350,034 (probability of 1,342,771 or more by chance alone: 1.00).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 21,056,437 sequences of רמה across every skip (2–152,424), 0.6% above what chance alone gives (about 20,924,939); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.2 × 10⁻¹⁸¹ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 20:10, reading forward.
The longest skip at which רמה was found in the Torah is 152,418 — at Genesis 1:1, reading forward; a spelling of 3 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 152,424.
A three-letter spelling is common across every skip (2–152,424): in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 20,924,939 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 21,056,437 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.
