MAWR

This is the root אור light, determined into form by the plastic sign מ …but I must state that the suppression of these vowels is here necessitated by the hieroglyphic style. For the Divine Verb always expressing itself in the future, and the accomplishment of the will of the Being of beings, following likewise in the convertible future, the creation remains always in power, according to the meaning of the initial word [Bereshith]. This is why the word is deprived of the luminous sign not only in the singular, but also in the plural. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 45)
