It is unlikely that the gate symbols are part of a base 39 number system, as in The Fifth Race O'neill uses a baes 8 number system. It is also unlikely that cartesian (x,y,z) coordinates would be used as it is far easier to use a system like spherical polar coordinates which comprises two angles and a distance.

Just read my last post...I think I was asleep at the keyboard! 37 glyphs?

Much sorriness. And I'm supposed to be a geek!

In the movie Daniel has never dialed Earth and as such has no idea what the address is until he finds the cartouche on Abydos with the address on it. It would also explain his delay in dialing the gate under fire from in COTG as he would have been highly stressed and remembering a seven glyph address that he still doesn't know by heart would be a little difficult.
