Question 871528: I would be so grateful if you could assist. I have a very simple question, I believe, which is as follows.
A Hebrew word consists of 3 consonants, and the Hebrew alphabet of 22 consonants.
How many permutations of 3 can be extracted from 22?
Also how many permutations of 2 consonants and how many of 4?
The answer should provide a theoretical maximum for the number of Hebrew words in existence, now and/or in the past. The numbers will form part of some research on the Hebrew origins of English.
I hope you can help. I have done a calculation myself, but don't trust my own judgement, I regret. Such was algebra when I was at school.
