Those are the associations of the letters as found within the Sepher Yetzirah. Thank you for the information about the Hebrew alphabet. In some respects I would have to say that these sorts of alphabets closely resemble those of China where they where essentially pictographic in nature. However, in the long run, everyone seemed to forget what all of the pictographs mean. In turn causing a linguistic shift of meaning in the long run. Love and Live well, Peter Reist
