    Hi there,

    I have a question about this. I am aware of the tetragrammaton and
    all that. I have a pretty good knowledge of Hebrew too. So I was
    wondering if you mean to say that the Shin, Aleph and Mem actually
    were *meant* to symbolize the qualities of the body you listed. Or
    do you mean they symbolize those qualities for you?

    I ask because the Hebrew alphabet is not Hebrew at all. It is
    Aramaic in origin. That in turn was based on the Phoenician
    alphabet. The names of letters are not Hebrew, they are Hebrew
    versions of Phoenician words (the two languages were cousins anyway
    though)

    In case you are interested in the original Phoenician meanings:
    Shin means "tooth" and is a picture of a row of teeth.
    Aleph means "ox" and in the original phoenician version looks like
    an ox's head.
    Mem I don't know about. It might mean "water", I would have to look
    it up.
    This is all easy information to confirm.
