2.1 Synonymy in the field of numerological phraseological units
A term, morpheme, or phrase that in a particular language has the exact same meaning as another word, morpheme, or phrase is said to be a synonym. For instance, the words begin, start, commence, and initiate are all synonyms of one another in the English language; they are interchangeable. A sentence's ability to retain its meaning when one form is substituted for another is the traditional test for synonymy. Words are only deemed synonymous in one specific context; for instance, long and extended are interchangeable when used in the context of long time or extended time, but long cannot be used in the phrase extended family. In contrast to synonyms with vaguely similar meanings, which also share a larger denotational or connotational sememe and hence overlap within a semantic field, synonyms with the exact same meaning share a seme or denotational sememe. The former are sometimes referred to as cognitive synonyms, whereas the later are sometimes referred to as near-synonyms,⁵⁶ plesionyms,⁵⁷ or poecilonyms.⁵⁸
Most people think of synonymy as a set of associations between words or their lexical-semantic variations based on a semantic community that has existed in a language for a significant amount of time during its history. Phraseological units can form synonymous relationships with one another in addition to two words (lexical synonymy), a word, and phraseological units. According to the widely used definition of synonyms in linguistics, which is a word (expression, construction), coinciding or: close in meaning, expressing the same concept, by synonymous phraseological units we mean such phrases that relate to the same object, concept, or objective phenomenon reality, have a completely different or partially overlapping lexical structure, have different stylistic, emotionally expressive shades, and are generally interchangeable. One of the factors that differentiates phraseological synonyms is a set of lexical components, which creates unique images that form the basis of rethinking and due to which the character of phraseological units is created, differing stylistically and emotionally expressively.⁵⁹
In the field of numerological phraseology, synonymy refers to the use of different phrases or expressions that convey the same numerological meaning. Numerological phraseology combines the principles of numerology and phraseology to reveal a deeper understanding of language and the meanings behind specific phrases. The study of numerological phraseological units, also known as numeoro-phrasemes, focuses on the unique patterns and meanings that arise from the combination of numerology and language. Synonymy plays an essential role in this area of study, helping researchers identify various phrases that carry the same numerological symbolism and uncover the deeper meanings behind each expression.
Synonymy of numerological phraseological units refers to the existence of different phrases or expressions that have the same numerological value or meaning. In numerology, certain numbers are considered to have specific qualities or characteristics, and phrases or expressions that add up to those numbers are often considered significant.
For example, the number 7 is considered a spiritual and mystical number in numerology, and phrases or expressions that add up to 7 are often associated with spirituality, intuition, and inner wisdom. Some examples of such phrases are "divine guidance," "inner truth," and "spiritual awareness." These phrases can be considered synonym phraseological units in the context of numerology, as they all have the same numerological value and convey a similar meaning.
Similarly, the number 9 is often associated with completion, fulfillment, and humanitarianism, and phrases or expressions that add up to 9 can be considered synonym phraseological units. Some examples of such phrases are "universal love," "humanitarian service," and "spiritual enlightenment."
However, it's important to note that the concept of synonymy in numerological phraseological units is not always straightforward, as different practitioners may have their own interpretations and associations for different numbers and phrases. Additionally, the use of different phraseological units with the same numerical value can give different nuances or perspectives to the interpretation of a numerological chart or reading.
Most societies, which is mirrored in their religions, view some numbers as particularly significant, if not symbolic. For instance, the Middle Eastern tradition of Arabic places a lot of emphasis on the number seven. Seven planets were recognised by some civilizations, including Sumerian and Babylonian, who based the seven days of the week on them. Seven was considered to be a "perfect" number, representing wholeness and goodness.
The Quran, the holy book of Muslims, makes mention to the number seven roughly twenty-five times. Typically, these allusions are to the seven heavens, the seven days of creation, seven categories of things, or seven specific people, as the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus. As a result, the number seven has a strong symbolic significance for Muslims and represents God's wonders and his omnipotence.
Phraseological units in diverse works have a distinct classification because the issues of phraseological synonymy have been examined by different authors from different points of view. As a result, A.P. Khazanovich views phraseological synonyms and idioms in two ways: 1) Structural, emphasizing the actual synonyms, or various but equivalent idioms; 2) Semantic and stylistic. The semantic-stylistic principle is used by the author to separate synonyms and idioms into equal and unequal large groupings. The author further categorizes unequal synonyms into three categories: ideographic, stylistic, and both ideographic and stylistic. A.P. Khazanovich divides ideographic synonyms into four groups: Synonyms include: a) those in which one or more aspects of a concept, a symbol for an object, phenomenon, or process are particularly highlighted; b) those with varying degrees of meaning and application; c) those with varying degrees of a feature that unites the entire series; and d) those with varying degrees of evaluative (subjective) coloration. The semaclasses of "numerals" and "mesuratives" are the basic foundation for phraseological units with a quantitative component. The numerals one, two, odd numbers up to ten: three, five, seven, and nine; the counting terms dozen, score, etc.; and words with the meanings of singularity and duality are especially prevalent in phraseological units containing numerals. Numbers can serve as a fortune-telling tool or a representation of metaphysical reality in any language, in addition to serving the obvious function of counting objects. This allows you to understand people and the environment around you on a deeper level. The apocentric worldviews and the universal framework for human development provide an explanation for the universality of the usage of number as a sacred force.
The numerals seven and nine share similarities from an ancient symbolic perspective. The digital series ends at nine and ends there before returning to one. Seven can also refer to an entire cycle or time. As a result, in some situations, the numerals can be used interchangeably. Thus, it makes sense that both digits would be used in the phraseological unit "on cloud seven (nine)," which means "very happy," because they stand for the upper bound of what is possible. For example, Stieg Larsson used that numerological phraseological unit in the novel "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" as following: "I was on cloud nine, feeling like a king on his throne." Another example for the usage of number nine is in the novel "The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher" by Hilary Mantel: "I was on cloud seven, feeling like I could conquer the world."
If viewed from a symbolic vantage point, "The ten commandments"the earliest phraseological unit bearing the numeral "ten"deserves attention. According to the "Comparative Dictionary of the Mythological Symbolism in the Indo-European languages," which perfectly matches this phraseological unit, "Ten" might represent spiritual accomplishment, love for God and the closest loved ones. The phraseological units "ten to one" and "the upper ten/ten thousand" (also known as "the top of society, aristocracy") contain symbolism that is consistent with the understanding of the number nine, the most that may be achieved.
The "Dictionary of Symbols and Imagery" claims that "six" represents both success and happiness.⁶⁰ The phraseological term "crooked sixpence" refers to a "talisman" in the English-language belief system. It is common knowledge that some people believe the number range from 1 to 12 to be the higher unit, which is then used as the foundation for future calculations. Some people continue to use the inch system of length measurement, in particular, for their measurements.

Measurative elements undergo semantic alterations in phraseological contexts as a result of the conversion of conceptual quantitative material into qualitative content. When the quantitative meaning of a phraseological unit with a numeral is desemantized, it expresses the qualitative-evaluative (sometimes subject) value of the quantity and can have completely different lexical content depending on national characteristics and realities in the target language. Quantitative meanings are realized with full or partial preservation of the numeral-mesurative components of the quantitative content of a phraseological unit with a numeral.
