Oleg, letter by letter
Each letter carries its value from this language’s table. They add to 21, which reduces to an Expression number of 3.
| Letter | Value |
|---|---|
| o | 6 |
| l | 3 |
| e | 5 |
| g | 7 |
| Total | 21 |
The breakdown above uses this language’s letter table. The Soul Urge is built from a separate vowel cipher, so adding up the values in this list will not reproduce it.
Helgi, Oleg and Oleh
The name is Norse in origin — Helgi, holy or blessed — and it entered the chronicles of Rus early, alongside Helga, which became Olga. English met it through Russian sources, which is why Oleg is the familiar Latin spelling, while Ukrainian transliteration renders the same name as Oleh. That swapped letter is not cosmetic: H is worth 8 where G is 7, so Oleh totals 22 and takes an Expression of 4, though its Soul Urge stays at 7 because the vowels never changed.
Two vowels that shift between tables
Four letters give 21 and an Expression of 3. G is heaviest at 7, and with L at 3 the consonants make 10, so the Personality is 1. The vowels are where it gets unusual: O counts 6 in the main table but 4 in the soul cipher, and E counts 5 there but 3 here, so both change weight. A is the only ordinary vowel the two tables agree on, and Oleg has no A — which is why its Soul Urge cannot be read off the breakdown printed above it.

Are Oleg and Oleh the same name?
Yes, and they are not the same spelling. Ukrainian transliteration writes H for the final letter, which moves the total and the Expression while leaving the Soul Urge alone.
Does Olga share these numbers?
Only the Personality. Olga also has L and G for its consonants, so that number is 1 as well, but its vowels are O and A and the rest of the arithmetic parts ways.
Why is the Soul Urge higher than the Expression?
Because the two come from different tables. The vowel cipher happens to score O and E at 4 and 3, while the full spelling reduces from 21 down to 3.
