M-H – ‘fluid and foundational source of generation (feminine principle)’

That which is essentially mobile, essentially passive and creative; the element from which everything draws its nourishment; that which the ancients regarded as the female principle of all generation, water, and which they opposed to the male principle, which they believed to be fire.

מה, מו or מי Every idea of mobility, fluidity, passivity; that which is tenuous and impassive, whose intimate essence remains unknown, whose faculties are relative to the active principles which develop them; in a literal and restricted sense, water, in an abstract sense who? which? what is it? Some one, something. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 387)
