Any good anagrams for Semikhah?

Semikhah (or Semicha or Smicha; Hebrew: סמיכה‎) refers traditionally to the ordination within Judaism of a rabbi. In recent times, some institutions grant ordination for the role of hazzan (cantor), extending the “Investiture” granted there from the 1950s; Less commonly, since the 1990s, ordination is granted for the role of darshan (lay leader). Ordination may then also be specifically termed סמיכה לרבנות‎, "rabbinical ordination", סמיכה לחזנות‎, "cantorial ordination", or הסמכת מגיד‎, "darshanim ordination". The original semikhah was the formal "transmission of authority" from Moses through the generations. This form of semikhah ceased between 360 and 425 CE. Since then semikhah has continued in a less formal way. Throughout history there have been several attempts to reestablish the classical semikhah. The word semikhah derives from a Hebrew root סמכ (smk) that means to "rely on", in the sense of "lean on", or "to be authorized"; the literal meaning of semikhah is "leaning [of the hands]".
