I believe you are correct that this pertains to duration of the ruler's reign, not lifespan.Alice C.

With Adam, you again added 9+3+14. So, if Kenan had used the same pattern, 9+1+14=24. 105 years for a reign is extreme, but 24 is much more plausible.<br />If the N+N+(N OR 14) is the correct pattern, then these years make sensible sums for the reigns of monarchs, rather than as lifespans.<br />Is this a potential solution? Or, perhaps, I misunderstood the reason that you kept the 91 rather than adding the digits together?B.W. Byarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816653931545084844noreply@blogger.com
