In addition, the set of palindromes may not be reliably tested by a deterministic pushdown automaton which also means that they are not LR(k)-parsable or LL(k)-parsable .

1426-409: Is not a Lychrel number as 56 + 65 = 121, and 121 is a palindrome. The number 59 becomes a palindrome after three iterations: 59 + 95 = 154; 154 + 451 = 605; 605 + 506 = 1111, so 59 is not a Lychrel number either. Numbers such as 196 are thought to never become palindromes when this reversal process is carried out and are therefore suspected of being Lychrel numbers. If a number is not a Lychrel number, it
1488-621: Is often written as NisiOisiN to emphasize this. Some people have changed their name in order to make it palindromic (including as the actor Robert Trebor and rock-vocalist Ola Salo ), while others were given a palindromic name at birth (such as the philologist Revilo P. Oliver , the flamenco dancer Sara Baras , the runner Anuța Cătună , the creator of the Eden Project Tim Smit , and the Mexican racing driver Noel León ). There are also palindromic names in fictional media. "Stanley Yelnats"

In modern Hebrew, the other three do not change their pronunciation with or without a dagesh, but they have had alternate pronunciations at other times and places. In traditional Ashkenazi pronunciation, tav represents an /s/ without

1736-555: Is repeated in reverse order, without alteration to word order within each line, and in a way that the second half continues the "story" related in the first half in a way that makes sense, this last being key. Palindromes often consist of a sentence or phrase, e.g., "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama", "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm", "Do geese see God?", or "Was it a car or a cat I saw?". Punctuation, capitalization, and spaces are usually ignored. Some, such as "Rats live on no evil star", "Live on time, emit no evil", and "Step on no pets", include
1798-675: Is replicated exactly in the opposite direction. For example, a G ♯ 3—13 half-steps down from A4 is replicated as a B ♭ 5—13 half-steps above. Just as the letters of a verbal palindrome are not reversed, so are the elements of a musical palindrome usually presented in the same form in both halves. Although these elements are usually single notes, palindromes may be made using more complex elements. For example, Karlheinz Stockhausen 's composition Mixtur , originally written in 1964, consists of twenty sections, called "moments", which may be permuted in several different ways, including retrograde presentation, and two versions may be made in
1860-480: Is sometimes used in order to represent the TH digraph in loanwords. In gematria , tav represents the number 400, the largest single number that can be represented without using the sophit (final) forms (see kaph , mem , nun , pe , and tzade ).
