9+6 and 10+5 in Hebrew...

Yeah, well, like I said before: iota = 9th letter of the alphabet, but 10th numerologically since the digamma/stigma is added. The traditional Yud-Hey rendering of 15 by 10+5 in Hebrew is very close to the name of G-D in the bible - closer than most Jews are comfortable with so typically, 9+6, Theth-vau, is used instead as an equivalent. This is not biblical AFAIK, just respectful tradition carried on even today. The problem you run into is that when you consider Stigma being 6, iota jumps to 10. If the Glyph maker thought that he/she could get away with 9=iota when 6=stigma, he/she made a blunder.
