8 is the number of completion and perfection in the Bible. Also a little tidbit that when you make 8 sideways you get infiniti.

Pronunciations of the paleoHebrew (z) sound (e.g. tsayin/zayin) varied over time and place - and is TRANS-LITERATED into Modern English different ways by different scholars.
In sefardi pronunciation ( as you SHOULD know) the Heb letter (z) is pronounced tzayin -or something equivalent to tsa-yeen as in the initial consontant of the Jebusite word for hill-fortress 'ZION" ('tzee-yone').
It is NOT pronounced 'Zye-onnn' the way e.g. modern Americans try to read it. (then again, they pronounce Iraq as 'EYE-rack', go figure...)
We are NOT dealing here with an Enlgish aleph-beth -- but rather a FOREIGN alephbeth of an ancient language (or group of languages) which are no longer spoken (e.g. Ugaritic and paleoHebrew).
