represents the breast, and every nourishing and
abundant object. As grammatical sign, it
expresses in general, abundance born of division:
it is the sign of divisible and divide nature."
[d'olivet, 1976, p. 3 18.1
V. "Dallet is physical existence, as response to
life, of all that, in nature, is organically active

K% Abba. Father. A name for the number 4
and Chesed. The multiplication of Chokmah by
itself (2x2). This links the derivation of the
powers of Chesed from Chokmah, since
Chokmah is called Ab, Father. It is through the
path of Vav (the Hierophant, and in Italian I1
Papa, the Father) that the power of Chokmah
descends into Chesed.
N2 conceited, haughty, proud. This word is
associated with power, authority and
magnificence expressed by Gedulah, Majesty

polarity of persons of importance.
Gay and Abba, stand for opposite manifestations
of Qabalistic ideas which correspond to the
fourth Sephirah. This is precisely the
significance of gay, as used in Isaiah 16:6. "We
have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive
pride; Even of his arrogance, pride and fury; His
ideal boasts are false." [New American Standard]

I. Rabbi Munk says: "The Heh looks life a lobby
with three walls, but with one side completely
open. This indicates that God allows nian free
choice. He is free to obey or disobey God's will,
but he chooses to leave the safety of the Torah's
spiritual and moral boundaries, he loses his
foothold and slips, as it were, through the open
space of the Heh into the abyss ... however, Heh
symbolizes God's readiness to forgive ... A small
opening is left in the top left leg of the Heh
symbolizing that a space always remains through
which a repentant sinner can return. [The
Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet]

Heh in IHVH is attributed to Binah, the creative
world, the 2nd to Assiah, the material world]. As

articles the, this, that, there, those: by the
second, it expresses a relation of dependence clr
