A-TH – ‘active, objective existence’
ATH The potential sign united to that of sympathy and of reciprocity, constitutes a root which develops the relations of things to themselves, their mutural tie, their sameness or selfsameness relative to the universal soul, their very substance. This root differs from the root אן in what the former designates as the active existence of being, I, and what the latter designates as the passive or relative existence, thee. אן is the subject, following the definition of the Kantist philosophers; את is the object.
That which serves as character, type, symbol, sing, mark, etc. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 300)
