The Four Connectivity Letters in The Egyptian ABGD
In the Egyptian (and by extension other "Semitic" languages) alphabet [ABGD Sequence] there are four letters, each has a double sound and form.They are;
Letters 'H'[Heh], ,'W''[WaW], 'M'[MyM] and 'N'[NwN]
Such letters have a connectivity function in the [alphabetical letters of]Creation Cycle.
The Fifth letter in the sequence ABGD is the letter 'H' Here its Sound and Writing Form Significance:
- Consistent with its connectivity function, this fifth letter in pronounced in the Egyptian (and by extension other "Semitic" languages) in a DOUBLE form as 'HeH' with TWO 'H' sounds. Additionally it is also written to affirm its connectivity function—between the TWO Horizons—like the number 8 with a horizontal line dividing it into a circle above and a circle below the HORIZEN-tal line.
It is a connectivity between upper and lower realms
- The horizon is a symbol of the dividing line between the waking consciousness, symbolized by the visible world by day, and the subconscious realm, symbolized by the night.
-The fifth Letter 'Heh' in Egypt is double in its shape—from the divine comes essence—from the created universe comes worship.
-The sound character of the fifth letter 'Heh' as aspirate being a breathing sound is singularly spiritual.
- The double emphasizes its CONNECTIVITY, continuity and its infinity, and expresses the character of The Deity—representing the creative principle, the giving of balance or life.
------
And while 'H' is a connectivity between upper and lower realms. The following letter in the sequence of creation is the connectivity between two circles ["oceans"] which is the shape/form of the 6th letter 'WaW'
'WaW' as a word means and/with/together with and is considered to be the image of mystery most profound and most incomprehensible, the symbol of the knot that unites.
