SH-B-E – ‘cyclical completion, fulfillment, curvature of space-time’

This is the number of complete restitution, of cyclic fullness…the idea of the consummation of things and of the fullness of times. One of the roots of which it is composed שוב…expresses the idea of return to the place from which one had departed, and the one which is joined to it by contraction עו, indicates every kind of curve, or inversion, of cycle. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 66).

SHB This root has two expressions according to its composition; if it is considered as composed of the sign of relative movement and of duration, joined to that of interior activity, it contains every idea of return toward a point of departure; if it is regarded as formed by the same sign united to that of the root אב, image of paternity, it designates the capture of a whole tribe, its captivity, its deportation outside the country: thence

The idea of any kind of reestablishment, of return to an original state, to a place from which one had set out; a restitution, a reformation: thence,

Every state of captivity, of separation from one’s country: a deportation; a capture. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 456-457)
