TEMURAH: A form of gematria that creates anagrams through systematic letter substitutions. Gematria is a system of discovering truths and hidden meanings behind words, using numerical values for letters of the alphabet. Each letter corresponds to a number. The numerical values of words are totaled and interpreted in terms of other words with the same numerical value. Gematria dates back to the 8th century B.C. Babylon, and has been used by most mystics since that time including the Magi, Gnostics, and Quabbalists. Notarikon is a form of gematria in which the first and last letters of a word or phrase are put together to create a new word, or to turn a word into a phrase.

TEMURAH
Hebrew for "substitution." Another method of gematria. The order of the alphabet is displaced in order to obtain new words:
kaph yod teth cheth zayin vav heh daled gimel beth aleph. lamed mem nun  samek ayin peh tzaddi qoph resh shin tav.
 
Thus: IHVH>M-TZ-P-(TZ) "watchtower."
 
TMURAH>EIF-G-(TZ) "where doth it rise?"
As in other forms of gematria, it works much better in Hebrew than in English.

Temurah (Hebrew) Changing, exchanging, permutation; an anagrammatical method used by Qabbalists in the study of the literal Qabbalah, consisting of substituting another letter of the alphabet in place of one or her letters in a selected word; the change yielding a word of quite different meaning. The letters of the Hebrew alphabet are placed in two lines (11 in each line alphabetically), one below the other; the top line reading from right to left, the lower reading from left to right.
 
The key-letter that is selected (any of the 22) is placed under the first letter of the alphabet. A word is then chosen for re-reading: the letter which appears in the opposite line to the one designated is substituted -- and a new word is made by this process. Thus a table of 22 commutations results from tamurah, and this series is called tsiruph [from the verbal root tsaraph to refine, examine, prove, interpret]
