How strange that 'cipher' should figure inter alia as 'nonentity', probably because cipher means zero among other things, yet ciphers are also numbers in general, e.g the German 'Ziffer'. How do we explain this phenomenon?
Incidentally, I tried to bring it up in within a general language group on Word Reference Forum, but did not find the suitable one. I even failed to log-in, for some obscure reason.
Anyway, whoever gets this post and has some explanation to offer, pls. do!
