THE HIMALAYAS, the world's highest mountains, have a name that exhibits three high-altitude A peaks, and reveals symbolic aspects of other letters.
 | | H is a high ladder. The Letter I is an Ionic column / PILLAR. Both symbolize HIGH |
- H, HIGH LADDER
- I, IONIC PILLAR, a long spine, indicating height.
- M, MOUNTAINS, Massive, Mighty, and Majestic.
( CAMEL: CArries a MOUNTAIN Elevated on long Legs.
The word bloom for "MAJESTIC" supplies its own examples of spectacular features of nature.
- M MOUNTAINS ARE MAJESTIC.
- A peaks. A - a broadening spray of falling water.
- J plunging waterfalls.
- E Elevations, tiers of clouds, heavens
- J = G, the grand gyre of stars of the Milky Way Galaxy. Majestic expanse of stars.
- S Surging seas are majestic.
- T Towering Tree.
- I i points of light, stars. Lofty pillars of a grand temple are majestic.
- C Crescent of the Moon. C = K, spreading light-rays of daybreak, dawn.
Majestic evokes great mountains, plunging waterfalls, towering trees, and star-spangled skies.
- A, ARROW UP, MOUNTAIN PEAK
- l, PILLAR. A long, tall pillar of elevation, which LIFTS to roof to the sky.
- Y, SKY. Two arms reaching to the sky.
- A, APEX, as we have seen, is an arrow, or angular mountain peak aiming up.
- S, SUMMIT SUPREME. Written with the Greek sigma Σ, or archaic Greek San Ϻ, is a Supreme, Sky-scraping Sawtooth mountain Summit. In ancient Proto-Sinaitic, S can be written =, showing the swirling clouds in the ceiling of the sky. S, SURGING SEAS. An aerial view of mountain ranges can look like the heights and plunging depths of rough seas.
Each letter in "HIMALAYAS" contributes to the idea of an impressive mountain range. This illustrates "word-blooming" in a nutshell: tracing how the meaning of a word emerges, or thematically resonates with, the symbolism of letters.
HIDDEN SYMBOLS IN THE ALPHABET opens the imagination to the incredible expressiveness of letters. Some letters, like W as Wheat Waving in the Wind, or legs Walking, are animated objects! The constellation of meanings include: numbers, directions, parts of the body, moving animals, figures of myth, stages of history, weapons, tools, and elements of nature.
A AIMS ABOVE
ABOVE! ARISE! ASCEND!
A is the Angular peak of
A great and mighty mountain,
Apex capped with Accumulating snow,
Altitudes Arising higher than treelines,
Ascending Above the clouds!
Aloft in Aerial domains of
Aircraft, Astronomy, and Angels,
A inspires the names of
Alpine landscapes around the world:
Andes, Appalachians, Adirondacks,
Atlas, Alps, Ararat, and Altai.
Accumulating is gathering up.
Adding and also
Augmenting is upping the amount.
Amplitude is the height of a wave.
Attainment is reaching a high goal.
Arches raise the roof up.
Attics are upstairs.
Aviation flies high.
Astronomy charts the stars above.
Angels dwell up in heaven.
As Antlers, Arches, Attics, Antennas,
Ambitious Aspirations, and
Arms Angled up to clap overhead,
As in a yogic tree or mountain pose,
A AIMS up!
Open up and say "Ahhhh!"
|
A means up in languages around the world. In Spanish, Alto means tall, and
Arriba means above. Ali means high and great in Arabic
An means heaven in Sumerian. AO is the sun rising up; it means dawn in Maori.
A is ABOVE
The Antennae of Ants, and the Antlers of Antelope Aim Above. An means heaven in Sumerian cuneiform. The word for up in Greek is ανα "ana." Attics are above the top floor. Acme means the pinnacle, the highest point. A starts the alphabet on a high note. A is Aloft in Aerial domains of Aircraft, Astronomy, and Angels! The high Altitude A leaps; launches, and blasts up. A is the Apex of a TALL conifer tree. Accumulations gather up. Ambitions and Aspirations Aim up. The word WAVE is self-illustrating. W is a wave, A is the peak height or AMPLITUDE. V is a valley. E shows degrees of elevation.

ABOVE and BELOW
The word ABOVE blends
both lofty aerial A,
and low bowing B.
Alto and Bass -
Attic and Basement.
Above and Beneath.
A, an arrow aiming up
B, both boots below
O, sun glowing overhead
V, down in the valley
E, degrees of elevation!

B is BELOW
The second letter in the alphabet, B, provides a balancing contrast to the high-flying, aerial A. In music, A is Alto, B is Bass. The letter B plants both boots on the ground.
In Egyptian hieroglyphics, a foot represents the B sound. The foot is the base below the body. Notice A is represented by aerial birds which fly above, and arms, which can reach above the head. Comparing many languages, B often stands for BOTTOM, BENEATH, BASEMENT, and everything BURIED in the ABYSS BELOW. The Egyptian hieroglyphics sign for B is a foot. This becomes the ground for concepts such as BOOTS, HOBBLE, COBBLER, BALANCE, and BALLET.
While "Alto" means tall, and "Arriba" means above in Spanish, "baja" means low. Baja California means lower California. The term "bas relief" for a shallow layer of carving, comes from the French bas "bah," meaning low.
Egyptian hieroglyphs

Second row: viper, snake pot, labyrinth confinement, kundalini spiral, feather of winged serpent, Wadjat flying dragon.
Spiritual elevation of the serpent energy?
C is CORE and CENTER
C stands for the core and center. In French, ceinture, is the belt that cinches in your middle. In Spanish, corazón is heart. C is a CUPPED hand ready to CARE, CRADLE, CARESS, and CUDDLE. Once the primary duality of A is above, and B is below is established, C creates time itself; a cycle or circulation between two alternative ways of being.
𓐍
THE DARK CENTER. C is associated with the unclassified Egyptian hieroglyph 𓐍, which in this meta-linguistic system, is interpreted as DARKNESS. It provides the complement to 𓇳 RA, the hieroglyph for the radiant sun and LIGHT. (The letters C and D are a sequence. It is said that darkness comes before dawn. C, the crescent Moon, symbolizes the darkness which comes before D, the dawn sun, 𓏏) This includes black, occult, eclipsed, hollow, or invisible like the New Moon. CAVITIES and CAVES are dark and hollow. The center of the eye, the pupil, is a dark hole. The center of the mouth, the open mouth is dark. The throat is a dark passage. The center of the galaxy is a giant black hole. THE ALL, gathered, is beyond the veil of event horizon, dark and invisible. "Darkness was upon the face of the Deep." If it relaxes, lets go a bit, and expands, the light can escape and will appear.
THE LIGHT CENTER. The Proto-Sinaitic letter kap can be a claw, a curved paw of protection. It can be a cooking fire which
is the center of the home, a source of comforting heat, light, and cooking. The central camp fire.
D is HAND and DISTANCE
In Hieroglyphics, D is represented by the hand, which is Distal, away from the body. D is a hand with the fingers folded in. (Horizontal Dome, with strokes indicating fingers, or raindrops from a cloud). D is for hand, as in DO, DONATE, DISTRIBUTE, HANDLE, and HOLD.
Directions in the alphabet
A, B, C, D, the first four letters of the alphabet, set up a coordinate system of ABOVE, BELOW, CENTRAL, and DISTAL. This is one way to interpret the letters, we will discover many more, such as the LIFE, and AGRICULTURE interpretations.

UNIVERSAL SYMBOLS IN THE ALPHABET
The alphabet is an amazing mystery that is hiding in plain sight. For centuries, the letters of the Latin alphabet have been considered empty, arbitrary shapes, devoid of particular significance. But we shall soon see that letters are pictographic building blocks of meaning, the visual seeds from which ideas can bloom. Each letter is the nucleus of a constellation of meanings. The master keys of alphabet symbolism have the power to unlock the meaning of many modern and ancient languages around the world.
