SH-N-Y – ‘couple’
It must be observed that Moses does not employ here שנים two, as the Greek and Latin translators have rendered it, which would separate the two luminaries…but that he employs the word שני, inflected by the designative preposition את, that same twain, that couple, that germination: thus uniting them under one single idea. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 46)
K-W-K-B – ‘virtual and fecundating force of the universe’
The word כוכב, vulgarly translated star, is composed of the root כוה, which is related to every idea of strength and of virtue, physically as well as morally, and of the mysterious root איב which develops the idea of the fecundation of the universe. Thus according to the figurative and hieroglyphic sense, the word signifies not only star, but the virtual and fecundating force of the universe. Therein can be found the germ of many ancient ideas…(The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 47-48)

M-A-W-R – ‘manifested light (en-lightenment)’
This is the root אור light, determined into form by the plastic sign מ [sign of exterior action]… (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 44-45)
M-W-E-D-Y-M – ‘cyclical time, periodicity’
This word springs from the root עד, governed by the sign of exterior action מ, and inflected by the directive article ל. It is necessary to consult the Radical Vocab. concerning this important root, as well as the roots of the following words יום and שבה .
As the Greek and Latin translators have seen in these three words only days, months and years, it will be well for me to dwell upon this; but I shall find the occasion to do so further on. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 45-46)
ED עד The sign of material sense, contracted with the root אד, symbol of relative unity, image of every emanation and every division, constitutes a very important root which, hieroglyphically, develops the idea of time, and of all things temporal, sentient, transitory. Symbolically and figuratively, it is worldly voluptuousness, sensual pleasure in opposition to spiritual pleasure; in a more restricted sense, every limited period, every periodic return.
The actual time; a fixed point in time or space expressed by the relations to, until, near; a same state continued, a temporal duration, expressed in like manner by, now, while, still; a periodic return as a month; a thing constant, certain, evident, palpable, by which one can give testimony; a witness.

R-A-H – ‘envision’
Moses continues to make the Being of beings, the universal Creator, speak in the future, by turning the expression of his will into the past by means of the convertible sign. The verb ראות which is used by Moses on this occasion, signifies not only to see, but to ken, by directing voluntarily the visual ray upon an object. The root רו or רי …develops every idea of of a stroke or ray…It is joined to the root או or אי , expressing the goal, the place, the object toward which the will inclines…and forms with it the compound ראי , ראת or ראית , that is to say, the vision, the action of seeing and the very object of this action. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet p. 34)
T-W-B – ‘resonant generation’
The sign of resistance united to that of interior action, image of all generation, composes a root which is applied to all ideas of conservation and central integrity: it is the symbol of healthy fructification, and of a force capable of setting aside every corruption. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 356)
B-D-L – ‘action of separating, distinguishing, particularizing’
The verb springs from two contracted roots בד–דל. By the first בד, should be understood every idea of individuality, of peculiarity, of isolation, of solitary existence: by the second דל, every kind of division, of opening, of disjunction. So that the verb here alluded to, signifies literally the action of particularizing, of isolating one from another, of making solution of things, distinguishing them, separating them. etc. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 34)
B-Y-N – ‘indeterminancy principle based on individuation’
The schema Beyn or Veyn (2.10.700) does not mean “divide” in Hebrew, but “between” or rather “among”, and according to the code it has a far greater significance. Its letter-numbers show that 2 and 10 (containers in existence) unfold a cosmic 700 which is the first and ultimate principle at stake in the universe: the freedom of indetermination. This is granted by the action Yavdel to both Awr and Hhosheykh…
This “darkness” is swarming with all that could be, and its living power transcends all human thought. From it, the action of Yavdel Veyn, in time, order and measure, gives birth to all that can become and be.
The same action of Yavdel Beyn upon Awr bestows to such elements of Awr as can be stirred into organic motion the blessed bounty of undetermined freedom.
How, when and where this liberality is taken advantage of is explained in the following chapters of Genesis…What we need to know at this point of our reading is the contradictory characters, which appear in Yavdel, of Dallet (4) and Lammed (30). Dallet expresses the resistance that any given structure opposes to that which tends to destroy it. Lammed is the organic movement that results from the overthrowing of obsolete structures. All organic structures have a necessary quality of resistance which deteriorates into rigidity and self-preservation. Evolution, according to Qabala, is a series of simultaneous destruction-construction or resistances, the biosphere being an interplay between structured and unstructured energies (analogically Awr and Hhosheikh). (The Cipher of Genesis, Carlos Suares, p. 89)
995 biyn, bene; a primitive root; to separate mentally (or distinguish), i.e.(generally) understand:—attend, consider, be cunning, diligently, direct, discern, eloquent, feel, inform, instruct, have intelligence, know, look well to, mark, perceive, be prudent, regard, (can) skill(-full), teach, think, (cause, make to, get, give, have) understand(-ing), view, (deal) wise(-ly, man).

A-M-R – ‘conditioning creative causality; plastic, formative faculty’
As the judicious Maimonides said, it is necessary to spiritualize the sense of this word and to guard against imagining any sort of speech. It is an act of the will and as indicated by the hieroglyphic composition of the verb אמור, a power which declares, manifests and reflects itself without, upon the being which it enlightens. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet p. 32)
AM …a root which develops all ideas of passive and conditional causality, plastic forces, formative faculty, maternity. Mother, origin, metropolis, nation, family, rule, measure, matrix. In an abstract sense it is conditional possibility expressed by the relation if. But when the mother vowel א, gives place to the sign of material nature ע, then the root loses its conditional dubitative expression and takes the positive sense expressed by with. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 295)
MR …a root whose purpose is to characterize that which gives way to its impulsion, which extends itself, usurps or invades space: but when this same sign is linked by contraction to the root אר symbol of elementary principle, then the root which results is applied to all the modifications of this same element. That which extending and rising, affects the empire, the dominion; as a potentate: that which exceeds the limits of one’s authority; as a tyrant, a rebel: that which is attached to the idea of elementary principle, as an atom, a drop. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 393)
H-Y-H – ‘allow to come into being’
1961 hayah, haw-yaw; a primitive root (compare 1933); to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary):
This is an example of changing the future into the past tense using the convertible sign, in this case to depict the birth of light, the symbol of higher consciousness “with an animation that no modern tongue can render except the Chinese.”
[Moses] writes first ירי–אור there-shall-be-light; then repeating the same words with the single addition of the convertible sign .ו, he turns suddenly the future into the past, as if the effect had sustained before-hand the outburst of the thought וירי–אור and there-(shall be)-become light.
This manner of speaking figuratively and hieroglyphically, always comes from the primitive meaning given to the word בראשית: for the heavens and the earth created in principle and passing from power into action, could unfold successively their virtual forces only as far as the divine will announced in the future, is manifest in the past. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 33)
A-W-R – ‘elemental principle of light (en-lightenment)’
I cannot repeat too often that all words of the Hebraic tongue are formed in such a way as to contain within themselves the reason of their formation. Let us consider the word אור light: it is derived directly from the word אור fire. The only difference between them is, that in the word which designates fire, it is the universal convertible sign ו which forms the link between the sign of power א, and that of movement proper ר: whereas in the second it is the intelligible sign וֹ. Let us proceed further. If, from the words אור and אוֹר , one takes away the median sign ו or וֹ there will remain the elementary root אר composed of power and movement, which in all known tongues signifies by turns, earth, water, air, fire, ether, light, according to the sign joined thereunto. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 33)

TH-H-W B-H-W – ‘chaos; potential within all potentiality of being’
It is the famous [kaos] of the Greeks, that chaos which the vulgar have also gradually materialized…
We know that the sign is that of life. We have seen that this sign being doubled, formed the essentially living root הה, which, by the insertion of the luminous sign, became the verb, to be-being. But let is imagine now that, wishing to express, not an existence in action, but only in power, we restrict the verbal root in the sole sign of life and extinguish the luminous sign י to bring it back to the convertible ו; we shall have only a compressed root wherein the being will be latent and as it were, in germ. This root הו, composed of the sign of life, and of that which, we know, is the link between nothingness and being, expresses marvelously well that incomprehensible state of a thing when it exists no more, and when it is, nevertheless, in power of existing…
Moses…expressed a contingent and potential existence contained in another potential existence…in another seed-producing power, which must be developed in order that it may be developed. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 30)
…Aleph is buried in Eretz. To allow it to spring forth alive in us is the absolute function of every human being [objective desire]. In whomsoever the Aleph lives and functions is the very Revelation itself…The word encompassing every variety of container is Eretz, which all translators have reduced to one word, earth.
What, then, is the aspect of these container-elements in which Aleph is buried? The life in them simply swarms, uncontrolled in a state of (says the verse) “Tohu and Bohu”, which is a jumble, a confusion, a hurly-burly, a chaos. It is a fantastic whirlpool of life, not limited to the planet earth, but cosmically including all that exists in the Universe. And, at “the face of its very self”, in its very “deepness”, that chaos is totally fecund, abundant, prolifically fertile. Such is the “darkness” referred to in the accepted translation. (The Cipher of Genesis, Carlos Suares, p. 81)
CH-SH-K – ‘darkness, enchainment of inner heat by compression’ [Finsterniss]
This word is…in its figurative sense…a compressing, hardening movement; in its hieroglyphic, it is a combat, a violent opposition between the contrary principles of heat and cold. The root expressed a violent and disordered movement caused by an inner ardour which seeks to distend. The root depicts on the contrary, a sentiment of contraction and tightening which tends to centralize. In the composition of the word it is the compressive force which prevails and which enchains the inner ardour forced to devour itself. Such was the idea that the Egyptian priests formed of darkness. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 31) [darkness = desire enchained]
PH-N-H – ‘phenomenological manifestation’

PHN – The face of anything whatsoever, the front of a thing, that which is presented first to the view: that which strikes, astonishes, frightens: every idea of presence, conversion, consideration, observation, etc.
The aspect of a person, his countenance, face, mien, air, sad or serence, mild or irritated: action of turning the face, expressed by the relations before, in the presence of, from before, etc. Action causing the face to turn, expressed by beware! no! lest! for fear of! etc. That which imposes by its aspect: a prince, a leader, a star, a ruby, a tower, etc. That which is the cause of disturbance, of hesitation. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p.427)
This elusive term would seem to contain the idea of taking a potentiality of being and bringing it into being, rendering it phenomenal in the sense of Heidegger’s definition of phenomenology: “to let that which shows itself be seen from itself in the very way in which it shows itself from itself.”
TH-H-W-M – ‘depths of dynamic, resonant power’
This is the root הו [being] modified now by the reciprocal sign ת, and endowed with the collective sign ם, which develops its power in infinite space. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 31) [idea of all desire, creative force]
HW …one of the roots most difficult to conceive that any tongue can offer. It is the potential life, the power of being, the incomprehensible state of a thing which, not yet existing, is found, nevertheless, with power of existing. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p.329)
HWM This is the abyss of existence, the potential power of being, universally conceived. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p.329)
TH This character as consonant, belongs to the sibilant sound. The ancient Egyptians in consecrating it to Thoth, whose name they gave it, regarded it as the symbol of the universal mind. As grammatical sign in the Hebraic tongue, it is that of sympathy and reciprocity; joining, to the abundance of the character ד, to the force of resistance and protection of the character ט, the idea of perfection and necessity of which it is the emblem…(The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p.465-466)
8415. thowm, teh-home´; or thom, teh-home´; (usually feminine) from 1949; an abyss (as a surging mass of water), especially the deep (the main sea or the subterranean water-supply):—deep (place), depth.
1949. huwm, hoom; a primitive root (compare 2000); to make an uproar, or agitate greatly:
R-W-CH – ‘lightness, release of inner heat by expansion’
It is figuratively a movement toward expansion, toward dilation. Hieroglyphically, it is strength opposed to that of tenebre. And if the word [darkness] characterizes a compressive power, a compression, the word רוח will characterize an expansive power, an expansion. In both will be found this eternal system of two opposed forces, which the sages and savants of all the centuries…have seen in Nature, and signalized by different names…
…contains all the ideas of expansion and exaltation, of ethereal breath, inspiration, animation, etc… (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p.31)

Yet a very singular thing…is, that, from the Chinese to the Celts, all peoples may draw from the word which, in their tongue designates water, the one which serves as indeterminate pronominal relation. The Chinese say choui, water, and choui, who, what? The Hebrews מה or מי, water, and מה or מי, who, what? The Latins aqua, water, and quis, quo, quod, who, what? The Tuetons and Saxons, wasser, water and was or wat, who, what? etc.
I am taking up here, the etymology of the word שמים heavens, because it is attached to the one I have been explaining in this article, and because it signifies literally, the waters, raised, brillaint, and glorified; being formed from the word מים , waters, and from the root שם, which is united to it. This root contains the idea of that which rises and shines in space, that which is distinguished and noticeable by its elevation and splendour. The Hebrew and Chaldaic שמה means happy, transported with joy… (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 41-42)
The so-called “heaven” in the first verse, the name of which is Shamaim, contains a Yod between two Mem. This sequence indicates the cosmic movement of Sheen acting against Mayim, the so-called waters: the two Mem (40) between which Yod is playing against its partner Aleph in the game of existence versus life…and it plays against its very destruction. And that which plays against it is the so-called Spirit of God, which is the tremendous vital energy of Sheen originated by Aleph…
Yod must always be in possession of two contrasting qualities; strength and softness…If Yod insists on one of these qualities against the other, what happens is a “dead death”. (This expression, Mawt-Hamawt, will be used in a later description of Adam in Eden).
Thus, the so-called Spirit of God acts like a steam roller every time Yod does not play the game properly. And that action is one of the facts of life that we know best: wars, destruction, disasters of all sorts…frustrations and failures; the annihilation of our achievements; and the terrible refusal of life in response to our hopes and our projects. But from these ruins, these misfortunes, rise the triumphs of ever-fertile life…(The Cipher of Genesis, Carlos Suares, p. 81-82)

Nearly all of the Asiatic peoples have used this bold metaphor. הוא (hoa), that is to say, HE, is in Hebrew, Chaldaic, Syriac, Ethiopic and Arabic, one of the sacred names of the Divinity; it is evident that the Persian word Goda, God, which is found in all the tongues of the North, is derived also from the absolute pronoun, HIM-Self. It is known that the Greek philosophers and Plato particularly, designated the Intelligent Cause of the Universe in no other way than by the absolute pronoun…composed of the pronoun and the absolute verb היה, to be-being…The verb itself, united to the pronoun אל, produces אלוה (Eloah), that-He-who-is, the plural of which Elohim, signifies exactly HE-they-who-are…(The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 28)
