Ach-bi Ach-bi is a method of alphabetic transformation wherein the alef-beit is divided into two equal groups of eleven letters. Within each group, the letters pair "reflectively"--the first with the last, the second with the second-to-last, etc. The name ach-bi is a reference to the first two of these transformation pairs: alef-kaf and beit-yud. This is the alphabetic transformation whose elements correspond to the sefirot within the partzuf of da'at. The three transformation systems, al-bam, at-bash, and ach-bi (corresponding to chochmah, binah, and da'at), form together a "transformation ring," wherein each two results in the third (e.g. alef in al-bam transforms into lamed; lamed in at-bash transforms into kaf--itself the transformation of alef in ach-bi).
