MeTa-language Relations to Phoenician

 

A - Aleph, ox. Antecedent.

       A is a rotated view of an ox head and                         protruding horns.  A is also the shape of                     the plow blade. Why is "A" the first letter of             the alphabet? The original Words-in-                         Bloom.com theory regarding this enduring               mystery is that the Bronze-age farmers who               developed the alphabet associated the ox with           beginning because plowing comes before                   planting, growth, and harvest. The letter A                 relates to antecedent, ancient,                                     antique, and "antes", which means "before" in           Spanish.    

B - Beth, house.   B depicts the human torso,             chest, abdomen and back. The body is the                 house of the spirit. B depicts a woman's body,           breasts, and pregnant belly, or womB, which              houses the infant. B has the form of an open             Book, or the two rollers of a scroll. A book is a         house of  ideas. Pun alert!

        "Boca", the Spanish word for mouth,                          is the  house of  the teeth.

Γ - gimmel.  The letters A and B can depict a              Bow and Arrow. The gimmel Γ has the form           of another ancient weapon or hunting tool, a             throwing stick, or boomerang.

        G  represents the dual principle of Give and                Get: Giving, Generous, Getting, Gripping,               Gorging, piG and hoG.  The boomerang                     embodies this principle: if you give it a throw,           you will get it back!
