Semantic Structure of the Seven Double Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet
Phonosemantic Data from Margaret Magnus Magical Letter and Gods of the Word See also: Consonant Meanings |
|
Seven of the twenty-two Hebrew letters are double because they have two pronunciations according to whether
the consonant is hard or soft, with a point or without, and whether the energy is resisted or accepted.
In the Cube of Space
the Seven Doubles (contraries, or seven pairs of opposites) occupy
the faces and center and thus represent energies that pass through us. We perceive these
one-way flows as dual according
to our orientation to them.
