"Speaking of which: Jim, do you claim any copyright or legal "ownership" of the letter/value table of LQS"
No. I guess thanks for asking, but that sort of thing is absurd. Not original with me (it goes back centuries), and not the sort of thing copyright law should be applied to.
"If you don't have an issue with it, I'll add LQS as an option to my online calculator and start putting entries in my DB as I find them."
Please.

Here's a good one:
The purification "asperges me, Domine, hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor" (sprinkle me with hyssop, Lord, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow) = 635 = אדני מלך (Adonai Melekh), "My Lord (the) King" (using the final Kaph value).
(edit to add: Counting the letter U as V, as you would in Latin: MVNDABOR, SVPER)

AMOREM INSPIRARE = to inspire love 156

Macroprosopus = 167
thus far, I have the following for 167 (some from my own "accidental" findings, some from Jim's notes)
Incito Serpentem
Ovum Igneum Genii
Quid Volis Ilud Fac
CUSTOS ORDINIS
HAMUS HERMETICUS
VNIVERSUM VICI
MACROPROSOPUSthe list may almost be synthesized as "Geburah of Keter", or along the similar lines; expressed through Thelemic pantheon, it has an obvious Hadit-Horus connotation; I was curious enough to look up the 167th verse in Liber L, and here's what it says (Ch.III, v.22):
"The other images group around me to support me: let all be worshipped, for they shall cluster to exalt me. I am the visible object of worship; the others are secret; for the Beast & his Bride are they: and for the winners of the Ordeal x. What is this? Thou shalt know."
FWIW -
Some interesting new findings that I feel prompted to share here, for joy and amusement of unknown readers working with, or interested in, LQS
211
Septem Lampades Ardentes - The Seven Lamps of Fire
Collegium Rosae Crucis - The Fraternity of the Rosy Cross
Conscientia Novi Aeonis – New Aeon Consciousness -
As I'm gradually working of translating Liber Legis into Latin, I'll be posting here periodically the most interesting findings, on the go.
Here's some today's gems:
BACULUM VIS COPH NIAE - Wand of the Force of Coph Nia = 175
(while Force of the Coph Nia itself - Vis Coph Niae = 110)
