One may add THE when it is the "only one of its kind".
Like THE GARDEN OF EDEN. See where OF was permitted because it was OF EDEN.
THE MAGNA CARTA (The Great Charter).
One should not add AND to names though, such as ROMEO AND JULIET....unless you are referring to the tragic love story and not the two lovers specifically.
Otherwise it should be ROMEO JULIET. Name Lexigrams and Phrases,,,when adding "AND" is wrong!
Name Lexigrams and Phrases
A Name Phrase like Romeo and Juliet, with the word "and" ADDED;
is NOT appropriate for Lexigramming couples, unless famous or as in the name of a play etcetera.
Valid results can be achieved by using the FULL NAMES of EACH person.
Do not add and!
What's in Your Names? Or Any Name?
What’s In YOUR Name?
THE BASIC RULES FOR LEXIGRAMMING AND ANAGRAMMING
1. Use any and all letters from the source to create/find words when Lexigramming.
Add none, remove none.
2. When Anagramming, use all the letters from the source by rearranging only to find/create words, with no letters left over.
Add none, remove none.
3. Do not add or remove any letters from the name or phrase etcetera before starting to Lexigram or Anagram it, nor afterwards. If you do remove any letters, be they consonants or vowels, your resulting Lexigram or Anagram will not be based on the Name etcetera you chose to divinate.
Adding letters to try and artificially & unethically FORCE a Lexigram to say things which are not in reality there.
The above rules are the "simplified basic rules".
There are more complex rules when it comes to
two or more people's names.
One does not simply combine the two or more names.
Many however do.
The problem is that it can reveal much but can too often give the other person(s) attributes they simply do not have as an individual.
(examples of that will be given later)
There are 4 elements involved in a true "Relationship Lexigram".
1.Unique...words only found as individual names
2.Compatibility...words both/all have in common
3.Union...words which can only be formed from the names of both/all person(s) names.
4.Relationship...the Unique, Compatibility, Union words found and "weighted".
_______________________________________
IMPROPER and INVALID lexigramming examples.
A Lexigram or Lexigram word list which has the word "AND" added
to the names of two real life people's names is not valid.
ALL couples by that token would acquire the letters A-N-D.
The word AND is NOT a natural valid part of their real names and should not be added to their names to be Lexigrammed, as with any other word which is not part of their real names.
With the word "AND" added, it should NOT be deemed a RELATIONSHIP
LexIgram, or a real life couple's Lexigram word list.
Using ONLY the first name of each person, and then adding in "AND",
as in ROMEO AND JULIET,
TOM AND JERRY, MUTT AND JEFF, LAURAL AND HARDY, and so forth,
is not generally valid for real life couples.
Yes, as the name of the PLAY, Romeo and Juliet are valid, but not as a couple.
Tom and Jerry is the name of a cartoon.
Abbot and Costello, Laural and Hardy, names of comedy TEAMS.
Ben and Jerry an ice cream company.
Like Arm and Hammer or Proctor and Gamble for a product or company name.
However real life couples should not include "and"
in their names being Lexigrammed.
("THE" is another word of that kind.)
Only the actual names should be used .
Exceptions would be:
Charles and Diana, or George and Gracie...ie; well know public figures. But generally that is pushing the envelope even for such famous couples. The word and should not be added.
If Romeo and Juliet were real people and not characters in a play;
one would Lexigram them as:
"Romeo Montague"
"Juliet Capulet."
However the two full names would not be simply scrambled
together with all the combined resulting words to be used in a Lexigram.
Which takes us back to the subject of Compatibility and Union Lexigrams,
which when combined result in a Relationship Lexigram.
If one desires to use words unique to each only as individuals,
the weight of importance for those words are not as high in regards to a
Compatibility or Union Lexigram.
To continue with the subject of Romeo and Juliet.
One would not add "AND" to the two REAL LIFE peoples' names.
If we were speaking of a real couple known as Romeo/Juliet, an entirely different picture, a true one would emerge, not a padded one inflated by the word AND they would not have if they were real people.
A Couples' Relationship.Union, or Compatibility Lexigram is done using your actual names, one each or both full names. And the word "AND" should NOT be added.
On top of that, what if neither name had a letter "D", but did have EATH?
By adding in the word "AND" the couple would acquire DEATH in their Lexigram and word list.
Adding the word "AND" falsifies the results, as by that token and method,
ALL couples would acquire the added A-N-D. including words not actually found within their actual names, thereby invalidating the resulting Lexigram.
ROMEO**JULIET have within their blended names:
Approximately 250 words.
ROMEO AND JULIET have an artificially padded inflated invalid word list of over
1,700 words!
Adding "AND" to Romeo/Juliet gives them for example; these words NOT ACTUALLY found within their names! Yes it fits them, but with an over 700% INCREASE in words causeed by adding "AND"...of course one can come up easily with phrases which fit ANYONE!
ENDEAR DUO DAMN MOURNED MAIDEN DIRE END AROUND ENDURE ARDENT AMID ADMIRE
Neither Romeo nor Juliet can acquire any of those words with the letter "D" as individuals, hence no Compatibility, Individual, nor Union Lexagram and or Lexigram word list would have those words for them if they were a real life couple and not characters in a play.
Even if they both had the word "AND", it is not right to inflate their words found by adding in an EXTRA added "AND".
Only as the name of the play is the example valid.
An example however based on Romeo/Juilet, (pretending as an example, they were real life people) without the added word "AND", would have for example, when simply blended together;
these words:
ROMEO**JULIET
TURMOIL TREMOLO MOTLIER LOITER ORMOLU ORIOLE METEOR RETOOL JOLTER ULTIMO MOTILE REMOTE TOILER REMELT OMELET MOLTER LOOTER MOULT MERIT MITER MOTOR MOIRE TUMOR MILER ORIEL TILER LITER ILEUM MOTEL UTERI OUTER EMOTE ELITE TIMER METER LEMUR ROUTE MOREL MUTER METRO MITRE REMIT ROMEO RETIE JOULE ROIL RITE JILT RIME JOLT RIOT LIMO ROOT ROUT TRIM ROLE REEL LIME ROOM TERM LOUT LOUR TIRE EMIR TIME LOOT MILT OMIT TOME TEEM TOLE LITE LUTE MERE MUTE MULE LIEU TRIO MOUE ROTE RILE LOOM MOTE OLEO LEER MORE EMIT MOOR TILE TOIL MOLT MOLE MOIL MELT LORE MITE MIRE METE TRUE MILE JEER LURE TREE TOUR TORE RULE TOOL MEET TIER JUTE LIRE MOOT ITEM ROT JUT OUT MIL MET LEE RIM ORE TIE RUT EEL TOE MOT OLE LIT REM RUE EMU IRE LIE MOO TOR LEI TOO LET TOM ERE ROE JOT ELM RUM LOT JET OIL OUR TEE MI UM LO TI OM RE IT ME TO EM MU OR I
However Romeo alone can get these words from the above list:
ROMEO ROOM MORE MOOR ORE REM MOO ROE OM RE ME EM OR
Juliet as an individual alone can get these words:
JILT LITE LUTE LIE TILE JUTE TIE LIT JUT LEI LET JET TI IT I
As anyone can see, they do not have any words in common. hence no Compatibility.
When the above words are eliminated, the words left are the words that can only be created with them as a UNION.
The picture changes drastically when their full names are used.
Only by using their full names, Romeo Montague/Juliet Capulet do they acquire;
TRAGIC ROMANCE.
Then by adding a Compatibility word, a word they both have as individuals, and so have in common, in their full names; one can clearly see, they have;
A TRAGIC ROMANCE.
To restate:
Adding "AND" to their names is valid ONLY because it is the name of a PLAY.
If they had been an actual real life couple, it would be an error to insert the word "AND".
What some call a Lexigram when it is NOT a Lexigram
WHAT IS NOT A LEXIGRAM!
Many folks have misconception that a word list found within a name, phrase, date, title, etcetera is a Lexigram and or an Anagram.
THAT IS UNTRUE!
The following is a form of Lexigram Based Reading which many confuse with a PURE LEXIGRAM!
While an easy and interesting way to look at Lexigrammed words from the source (name, phrase, etcetera one is Lexigramming)
The following is NOT by any stretch of the imagination a TRUE or PURE LEXIGRAM!
ELVIS AARON PRESLEY
Known AS the King of Rock "N" ROLL OR simply The King.
PRESLEY began his career AS ONE of the first performers of ROCKabilly.
His NOVEL VERSIONS of existing songs made him popular.
He performed IN LAS Vegas during his career.
He IS ONE of the best selling and most influential artists IN the history of popular music.
While not OPERAS, his PASSION for LOVE songs LIVES ON!
IS ELVIS still ALIVE? Some SAY ELVIS LIVES ON IN A secret place.
He still PLEASES us with the LOVE songs he left at our LOSS of him.
Many folks do oddly consider the above as an actual Lexigram
which it is not.
That example is a LEXIGRAMED BASED READING or LBR, in which words found within the source, here being the name:
ELVIS AARON PRESLEY
are strung together by words not found within his name.
In the above example only words which can be found within his name are in UPPER CASE LETTERS.
Another example which would be touted as a Lexigram by fans of the late Linda Goodman is the following:
ELVIS AARON PRESLEY
(k)NO(w)N AS (th)E (k)IN(g) O(f) RO(ck) "N" ROLL OR SI(m)PLY (th)E (k)IN(g.)
That example is not a Lexigram.
When one adds words and or letters not from the source being Lexigrammed they are attempting to try an "FORCE" their Lexigram attempt to say things which are simply not there.
