Al-bam

Al-bam is a method of alphabetic transformation. The basic "direct" transformation pattern, wherein the alef-beit is divided into two equal groups of eleven letters which are then paired (first to first, second to second, etc) to transform one into the other. 

The name al-bam is a reference to the first two of these transformation pairs: alef-lamed and beit-mem. 

This is the alphabetic transformation whose elements correspond to the sefirot within the partzuf of chochmah--Abba.
