Recurrence — how often אלחנן reads

◆ 272 years between the rare alignments that make אלחנן legible — the significant stellar reading, recurring over years→centuries with no fixed cadence. It also reads on ordinary days (25 of 365 days · gap 1–264 d · ~every 15 d).

Required sign(s) / simple(s)	Libra / Cancer / Scorpio · ל ח נ · mother א
Rare alignments read at	50 of 12505 (maxInSign 5/6/7, across 22,000 yr)
Years	19787 BCE · 18701 BCE · 18176 BCE · 18152 BCE · 18056 BCE · 17202 BCE · 17121 BCE · 16966 BCE … 548 BCE · 863 CE · 1923 CE · 2072 CE (50 total)
Gap between alignments	11–1823 yr · median 272 yr
Nearest to 8 Aug 2026	1923 CE (103 yr ago) · next 2072 CE (in 46 yr)
Ordinary-day cadence	25 of 365 days · gap 1–264 d · ~every 15 d

The alignment gap is the rare, significant reading — the stellar-recurrence "frequency constant": a one-simple word reads at most alignments (short gap, e.g. every few years); a multi-simple word reads only when all its signs coincide (long gap). The ordinary-day cadence is the noise floor every word also sits on (when any planet transits its sign). Planet periods are stable, so the everyday cadence is the same in any year.
