Here, before we proceed to explain the figures and powers of letters, it may not perhaps be improper to observe that the parts, affections, and ideas of the human pair, incorporated, as in the figures at the end of this essay, were the archetypes or patterns of the original characters, whose figures and sounds are descriptive of the universe; that letters and particles have two sounds, the masculine and feminine, the active and passive, or the short and long; that a particle or syllable cannot in the genuine sense of language consist of more than two letters; and that there are not in fact any such things as dipthongs; those now supposed to be such, being two or three particles of one vowel each, which formerly was a common method of composition, as appears by the following piece of ancient poetry; in which there is no consonant made use of, the r being only a letter of sound. Oer iu yr eira ar yr yri, Oi riu or awyr i rewi; Oer iu yr ia oi riu ri Ar eira oer iu yr yri. Thus Englished. From its high hill cold is ice, Cold is the snow on Snowden; Its nature from the sky to freeze On snow so cold is Snowden. The letter o is an indefinite circle, signifying the universe, motion, space, the sun’s figure and motion, and all or ol, extension of length, breadth, and thickness; and it is expressible of parts only by a diminution of its general sense; as in b-ol, a ball or part of all, or-b, a circle part, w-or-l-d, a man’s circle part or place of life, b-or-d-er the circle part of the possessions and 10, one circle, which being repeated comprehends all numbers. This, like all other original letters, has two sounds, the long and the short, as in _on_, _one_, _ton_, _tone_; and its shape or figure was taken from the circumference of the human pair close together, face to face, which is man’s chief circle place, signified by the term _world_. The Greek ω is a double υ as has been explained in my former treatise.
