I also was wondering if it's on purpose that crowley used final mehim for several words instead of mehm like Ha-Galgalim is spelled usually like HaGLGLYM in online sources, but it's never specified if the M is a mehm or a mehim, but crowley used final mehim in the circle. Any thoughts on that?
As you know the final letters are used at the end of sentences, the ring of names isn't a sentence but a list of titles in the order of atziluth, the name of a sephira, briah, yeszirah, then the hebrew name of the planet/zodiac/primum mobile - because these are individual words and not part of a overall sentence (they are separate from each other in the same way the cells in a table are) they should be treated separately, using the final letters makes sense when you look at it this way.
The way to check is to find a table or list written in hebrew to see if they used the finals or not!
