Emirp, The Prime Minister of Ananymia

At first I was thinking of making Emirp a caveman buddy of Gromk and Durp. But as this entry in the land of -nym words relates to prime numbers some sort of prime pun seemed appropriate for the title.


Gromk was sufficiently schooled in pattern recognition to notice EMIRP is PRIME spelled backwards. Durp did not, and was consequently killed by a dog, incorrectly assuming it was a loving god. You bastards! You killed Durp! Gromk's descendants ended up in political power and thus Emirp became the prime minister of Ananymia.


Ananyms are words created by making an anagram of a word by reversing the letters. Therefore they have the same gematria as the source word, regardless of which tihsllub system you use. But they have a different meaning, related to the source word, but not exact.


Emirp as a word gets elevated to post-worthiness since gematria has am obsession with prime numbers. Like they are special. In reality most of the time they are used is as a bridge number. Number xxx is the xxth prime is the most common format. That is, another cheat to change a three digit number into a more likely to be matched two digit number. That they do. All. The. Freaking. Time.


Ananyms as a concept and emirp in particular are real words. I.e., I didn't make them up. So, if you imbued some NIPTUCK with the power to have created/influenced our language you've inherited these, too.


An emirp is a prime number that yields another prime number by reversing the digits. Like 13-31. Of course 19 is not an emirp. 91 is 7x13.


So let's finish the recap, which will have the final sentence you should expect by now.


Ok, let me get this right. Nearly infinitely powerful source has created our language. And the numbers underneath the language are important. And prime numbers are especially important. And they allowed two words that always have the same gematria (except Francis Bacon) that relate to a special set of numbers that have different meanings.


Yeah, that makes all kinds of fucking sense.
