Why no 9
The tradition holds 9 as the number of completion and assigns it to no letter, while accepting 9 as a name total with its own reading. A name can reduce to 9; no letter is worth 9.
Chaldean against Pythagorean
This part is worked out by the calculators: open the calculator. The Pythagorean table runs 1 to 9 by alphabetical position and totals 126. The two are never blended.
W is 6
A published table elsewhere shows W as 5 in one row; the classical table is unambiguous and every calculation here uses 6.
