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.”
