I'm curious as to which space was the important one. It appears to me
that most of the are redundant...

Another thing that I'm curious about: why do you *really* need gimatria
for those huge numbers? I don't suppose you have thosands of appendices,
or that you number your 1,000 page work using gimatria...
When I needed a simple gimatria macro, I used
\def\hebrg#1{\@hebrg{\@nameuse{c@#1}}}
\def\@hebrg#1{\ifcase#1\or à'\or á'\or â'\or ã'\or ä'\or å'\or æ'\or ç'\or
è'\or é'\or é"à\or é"á\or é"â\or è"ã\or è"å\or è"æ\or é"æ\or é"ç\or é"è\or
ë\or ë"à\or ë"á\else\@ctrerr\fi}
And you can use \hebrg just like \Roman. (it worked in LaTeX 2.09 - I never
tried it in LaTeX 2e). It only worked for parameters up to 22, but it was
more than enough for my uses.
