At the bottom of the hands, the two letters on each hand combine to form הוהי (YHWH), the name of God.
The literal meaning of each of the 4 letters is: Yod= Hand, Heh = Behold/look at, Vav= Nail,
Heh=Behold/look at, so the 4 letters read right to left as Hebrew, are ―Look at/Behold the nail, look
at/behold the hand.‖ The Vulcan salute is a hand gesture consisting of a raised hand, palm forward with
the fingers parted between the middle and ring finger, and the thumb extended. Often, the famous line,
―Live long and prosper‖, is said after it. In his autobiography I Am Not Spock, Nimoy wrote that he based
it on the Priestly Blessing performed by Jewish Kohanim with both hands, thumb to thumb in this same
position, representing the Hebrew letter Shin [ש], which has three upward strokes similar to the position of
the thumb and fingers in the salute.
Straps forming the letter Shin ש wound according to the ashkenasic custom. And the ‗Blessing
gesture‘ depicted on the gravestone of Rabbi and Kohen Meschullam Kohn [1739-1819], Bavaria,
