Notaricon: Meanin gs of the Alefbet
The letters of the alefbet are the n exus betw een th e Tree of Life and the Tree of the
Knowledge of Good and Evil. To the d egree we perceive language to be primarily
denotative and rooted in the tangible things of this world, w e partake of the lesser tree.
To the d egree we p erceive the connotative and transforming d imensions of language
by its use of allusion to the pr inciples un derlying creation, we are p artaking of the
higher tr ee that leads to life eternal.
Notaricon is the art of reading a H ebrew w ord forms not as sound cues pointing to
specific meanings, bu t as graph ic statemen ts of interacting p rinciples. Letters are read
as word s and p hrases. To the degree traditional soun d m eanings are sup ported by
notaricon, those meanings are valid. To the degree sound m eanings are unsupp orted
by notaricon, those meanings m ust be acknow ledge to be inventions of man . For com-
parison of what is offered here w ith trad itional views of the Hebrew alefbet, I recom-
men d Rabbi Ginsburgh's presentation at The Inner-Dimension w ebsite. Significationsof the Paleo-Hebrew scrip t are also foun d a t the screens beginning at
http:/ / ww w.bethashem.org/ ketav.html, a site with many ad ditional language
resources.
Like Torah, the letters are written w ithin and without-- that is, they have their interior
and exterior significances, as well as their positive and negative aspects. The lines of
the letters and the blank spaces w ithin and around the letters all have lessons for us.
The basic meanings listed below are used in the Paleo-Hebrew Hypertext dictionary.
The list is by no means d efinitive; for meanings of letters involve mu ch more than their
shapes, as each letter enjoys various p ositionings w ithin th e Crown Diamond and
Adam Kadmon , with correspond ences to both the human body and to the greater cos-
mos. Before we can progress to the higher notaricon implied by the positionings on the
Tree of Life, how ever, we mu st first restore found ational understand ings of langu age.
A PDF version of the notaricon tables that follow is available for dow load. Please
select the dow nload-to-disk op tion in your brow ser.
In th e beginn ing, Elohim created the h eavens an d th e earth.
