PS. (final gust)
You realize, I hope, that the assignment of simples to signs by Sefer Yetzirah (and by their order in the alef-bet) is only a starting point as well, since it makes no phonetic sense (whereas reconstruction based on bardic lore does, that being its basis). And I won’t even start in on trump-assignments (that also being much more fruitfully approached via the bards if you ask me, so don’t, else brace for an ear-full).Fulgour said:Is this the be all and end all...? No, just a starting point...
