Summary:Typifying poetical lines by means of numerals (zero to nine), alone or in combination with alphabetical symbols, is usually done in a casual manner.

The application of these features in the domain of poetical theory, particularly syntax, is discussed and illustrated by means of Young Babylonian (Ludlul bel nemeqi) examples.
