'unam de cotis', could not do otherwise, because
the course of error was irresistibly marked out.
The word ~5% can only be composed of one
root and of one sign, or of the two contracted
roots. If it is the first, it is ft-5% for ~ 5 is , not
an Hebraic root; if it is the second, it is 'lp-h, in
neither case, the meaning is the same, for the
root ;lp or is only an extension of the sign
According to this data, let us examine the ideas
contained in the root 5%. They are those of
shadow, of an object extending above, and
making shadow as a canopy, a curtain, a screen,
hangings, roof, etc.
Now what is the meaning of the root ;lp? Is it
that which is attributed to all curving, all
circumferential form, to all exterior superficies
of things.
Therefore the word ~5% signities exactly an
envelope, an exterior covering, a protecting
shelter. This is what the facultative ~59%
proves, to be enclosing, covering, enveloping:
This word which is derived form the root 59,
characterizes a thing raised to serve as covering,
canopy, etc. The Chaldaic makes use of the word
959, analogous to the Samaritan and having the
same signification." [d 'Olivet, 1976, pp. 88-89.]

Goetia: "He is a great Marquis and appears in the
form of a stock-dove, speaking with a voice
hoarse, but subtle. His office is to take away the
sight, hearing, or understanding of any man or
women at the command of the Exorcist; and to
steal money out of the houses of Kings, and to
carry it again in 1,200 years. If commanded he
will fetch horses at the request of the Exorcist, or
any other tings. But he must first be commanded
into a triangle, or else he will deceive him, and
tell him may lies. He can discover all things that
are hidden, and not kept by wicked spirits. He
gives good Familiars, sometimes. He governs 30
Legions of Spirits." [Mathers, 1995, p. 5 11
