P =         place value.  The P of a letter is its position in the alphabet. The P of a word or phrase is the sum of the place values of all its letters.

N =        numerical value. The N of a word or phrase is the sum of the numerical values of all its letters.

S =         sum value, P + N

R =        difference, N - P

 

The Hebrews do not write a doubled letter twice, but put a dot, a dagesh forte, into the letter to signify its doubling. Such letters should actually be counted twice. P•/N•/R•/S• simply mean that the doubled letters, marked with dagesh forte, have been counted twice. (When an emphatic or doubled consonant was not followed by a vowel, usually no dagesh forte was written. P°/N°/R°/S° signify that also such letters have been counted twice.)
