Greek Vowels
In Greek the vowels even expanded to alphabetically ordered AEHIOY occasionally re-arranged
as 3. The reason why so many divine names such as , , start
with the same string is the sacredness of the first triad 4.
Greek initially took over all of the 22 letters of Phoenician. Five of them were
reassigned to denote vowel sounds: the glide consonants /j/ (yodh) and /w/ (waw) were
used for [i] (, iota) and [u] (, upsilon) respectively; the glottal stop consonant //
('aleph) was used for [a] (, alpha); the pharyngeal // (ayin) was turned into [o] (,
omicron); and the letter for /h/ (he) was turned into [e] (, epsilon). A doublet of waw
was also borrowed as a consonant for [w] (, digamma). In addition, the Phoenician
letter for the emphatic glottal // (heth) was borrowed in two different functions by
different dialects of Greek: as a letter for /h/ (, heta) by those dialects that had such a
sound, and as an additional vowel letter for the long // (, eta) by those dialects that
lacked the consonant. Eventually, a seventh vowel letter for the long // (, omega)
was introduced5.

Yodh
Yodh (also spelled Yud, Yod, Jod, or Jodh) is the tenth letter of many Semitic alphabets, including
Phoenician. In Classical Greek, the letter was called (), whereas the omicron was called ou
(). Yud is a mater lectionis, like Aleph, He, and Vav.
Two Yuds in a row designate the name of God Adonai. Yud is a mater lectionis, like Aleph, He, and
Vav. As Yud is the smallest letter, much kabbalistic and mystical significance is attached to it7.
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Iota (), Latin I, J, Cyrillic , , Coptic iauda and
Gothic eis.
Symbolically the very name iauda of the Coptic equivalent letter for Yod also includes the root iau
just as the Yud also includes IU.
As a remarkable observation we may identify as the Greek expression for always, evermore,
forever and (Latin: aeon) as aeon, eon the current world10.

Eve = Jva
The symbolism of the E seemed to have been included in the letter i. This thesis may be proved
by the cuneiform "syllabary:
Jva - present active particle; nominative singular masculine <jiva-> 'living' -- 10.236,
10.308
Eve or to be more precise Jva (in old-Persian cuneiform: life) consisted of a Yod and a
concatenated set of I-U-A. The symbolism of modern, newly created vowels such as Y, E, O and H
had to be covered by the archaic vowels. The equivalence of Y I, E I, O U and H A
reduced symbolism by collapsing Zeus to Zius and Deus to Dius or in modern Spanish
Dios Dius.
Planetary restrictions
The planetary model had to be adjusted to the knowledge at the time and was to be adapted from
time to time, depending on new discoveries in the planetary system.
Generally above the moon's level the planetary objects according to Aristotle had been considered
as gods. This idea may have been settled at early ages.
The stars and planets were carried around the Earth on spheres or circles, arranged in the order
(outwards from the center): Moon, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, fixed stars, with the
fixed stars located on the celestial sphere13. If this sequence were to be mapped on the vowels we
would have: Moon = A, Sun = E, Venus = H, Mercury = I, Mars = O, Jupiter = U/Y, Saturn = .
Timaeus
According to Plato's Timaeus the orrery (Jehova16) included a 5-swiftness-system
IAOY, represented by the five basic vowels I, A, , O, Y.
Both inner planets (Mercury and Venus, vowels E respectively H) are additional elements, which
didn't play a substantial role in the fundamental laws of harmony, because their planetary period
seemed to be more or less synchronous to the earth's oscillation period. Therefore Mercury
(Hermes) & Venus (Aphrodite) occupy illegal positions in the pedigree Saturn (Kronos) -
Jupiter (Zeus) - U/Y Mars (Ares) - O.
The Sun, the Moon, Saturn (Kronos), Jupiter (Zeus), Mars (Ares) were represented by YO,
which initially before the birth of Zeus - originated as the Trigrammaton 17 representing the
archaic triad Sun, the Moon and Saturn. Mars had been considered as a child of Jupiter and a
grandchild of Saturn.
Extensions probably had been necessary by the discovery of new planets. Each vowel belonged to a
planet and each newly discovered planet required the invention of a new vowel to keep the
historical concept alive.

Some Notes to Sabian Philosophy and Timaeus
The Moon
The planet cult of Harran (Roman: Carrhae) and Edessa (Urfa, and today: anlurfa) is based on
worshiping the sun (named Il), moon (named Sin), and five other visible19 planets.
Some of the Sabian formulas sound familiar to us:
The Sun is also referred to as Adunay (Adonai), which means lord.20.
Sin's temple was rebuilt by several kings, in the 7 th and the 6th century BCE. Herodian21 (iv. 13, 3)
mentions the town (named Carrhae) as possessing in his day a temple of the moon:
Not long after they made this agreement, it happened that Caracalla, who was spending
the time at Carrhae in Mesopotamia, conceived a desire to leave the imperial quarters
and visit the Temple of the Moon, for Selene is the goddess22 whom the natives
particularly adore. The temple was located some distance from Carrhae, and the journey
was a long one.
Therefore the first character A of the archaic alphabet may have to be assigned to the most
important planet moon. Later the sun (symbolized by I) became the most prominent planet and
at that time the I may have been relocated at the beginning of the philosophically re-ordered
vowel's list ( Jehova23) instead of the former Ptolemaic alphabetical order
AEHIOY for Moon (A), Mercury (E), Venus (H), Sun (I), Mars (O), Jupiter (U/Y) en Saturn ().
In any system the vowel triad I (the sun), A (the moon) and (Saturn) have been archaic triads in
all vowel systems and planetary orders. All of the minor readjustments may have been temporarily
influential but somehow lost their impact. The vowels remained additional objects.
In German language the moon is a male and the sun is a female element, whereas Mediterranean
languages define the moon as a female and the sun as a male element.

26 The Vowels' Symbolism in Archaic Hymns - Notes to the vowels in De Elocutione of Demetrius
Tacitus explains27:
Besides this he [Claudius] invented three new letters and added them to the alphabet,
maintaining that they were greatly needed; he published a book on their theory when he
was still in private life, and when he became emperor had no difficulty in bringing about
their general use. These characters may still be seen in numerous books, in the [state]
registers, and in inscriptions on public buildings.
Unfortunately Claudius' book may have been lost or slumbers in one of the secret and sacred
archives...
Before Claudius' efforts the Greek character Y already had been known as a sonus medius, a
short vowel in the symbolical center of I and U, ranging from I to U. The sonus medius was:
a short vowel sound (likely [] or []) used before labial consonants in Latin words such
as optumus/optimus. The letter was later used as a variant of y in inscriptions for short
Greek upsilon (as in Olympicus). It disappeared because the sonus medius itself
disappeared from spoken language28.
Therefore symbolically some of the Y-letters may have be considered as a IU-abbreviation. And in
case the I had been a male and the U a female symbol the Y had to be considered as an androgynous
symbol, which no other singular character had been fulfilling up till Claudius felt his duty to
suggest the introduction of the as a sonus medius.
The special vowel structure of an IU-structure also allowed to condense two vowels (I and U) inside
one symbol Y.
And God seide, Lo! Y haue youe to you ech eerbe berynge seed on erthe, and alle
trees that han in hem silf the seed of her kynde, that tho be in to mete to you;
Dyaus Pita - literally "Sky Father", the ancient sky god of Vedic pantheon and father of
Ushas (Dawn), Ratri (night) and the chief deities.
The initial letter in the Spanish ego-pronoun Yo.
The initial letter in the Yahoo30 as a human specimen in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels
The initial letter in YHWH (Tetragrammaton).
Often the Y or I have been applied as initials for names or elements. In analogy to the E the
symbolism of the Y however seemed to have been included in the letter i.
Adam - personal pronoun; nominative singular <adam> 'I' 32 - referenced in a great number
of Old Persian texts in cuneiform with references: 7.64, 7.132, 7.280, 7.353, 8.197, 8.340,
8.371, 8.374, 8.401, 8.447, 8.458, 9.82, 9.196, 9.226, 9.410, 10.17, 10.71, 10.109, 10.144,
10.170, 10.182
mm - personal pronoun; accusative singular masculine <adam> 'I' -- 9.186, 9.231, 9.385
There is a record of a small inscription in Morghab (southwestern Iran) on which there is the
sentence (adam kru xyaiya haxmaniiya) in Old Persian expressing: I am Cyrus the
Achaemenian King, which illustrates the use of adam (I):33
As an ego-pronoun adam must have been considered as a word for male and female speakers, which
implies that the word should be understood as a neutral gender word or an androgynous symbol.

Liberal Arts at UT Austin)
33 Cyrus (name) in Cuneiform documented in Ancient Scripts: Old Persian
The set of vowels at the start of the old Persian cuneiform "syllabary starts with the old archaic
triad set of A-I-U, which had been mentioned as a belief in the work of Ludwig Stterlin34.
In this case however no e or o had been discovered in the old Persian cuneiform "syllabary. In
fact the e and y had collapsed into the i, the o probably in u and the h into a.
The Akkadian alphabet however used four vowels: I-A-E-U 35, the Latin alphabet five I-A-E-OU and the Greek alphabet seven: I-A-O-E-Y-H-.
Adam as an ego-pronoun
In modern language the frequency of ego- and you-pronoun is relatively high and deterioration
would quickly reduce the words to minimal length. The old Persian pronouns Adam, mm and tuva
are relatively long and seem to be relatively young at that time.
Eve is found as Jva
In the absence of e-vowels I checked the word for Eve (life, living) and I found this word in
the library by searching for life:
Jva - present active particle; nominative singular masculine <jiva-> 'living' -- 10.236,
10.308
jv - noun; nominative singular feminine <jv-> 'life' -- 7.236
Eve or to be more precise Jva consisted of a Yod and a concatenated set of I-U-A.

35 Notes to the Cuneiform Old-Persian Scripture
The cuneiform word for God is baga, which correlates to Slavic Bog.
The ego-pronoun Mn
In Persian (and also Ottoman Turkish and Kurdish) language the ego-pronoun is: ( /mn/),
which as a transfer from adam to mn almost serves as a proof that mn and man had been
derived from Adam, the first man, or at least correlating to Mannus, Tuisco's androgynous (?) son
and the patriarch of Germanic tribes.
S = Synthesis (?)
In contrast the trailing consonant S may symbolize the reunification and synthesis of the split-up
elements. This of course is a thesis, which must be considered unproven yet.
In this case the D- (division) and S-letters (synthesis) had been considered as antipodes.
41 John 1:1
Overview
In the course of studying the ego-pronouns I discovered the cuneiform old-Persian ego-pronoun
adam, which directly correlated Persian mn, the Turkish ego-pronoun variants , to
the creation legend in which the first man Adam had been created. Due to its vocal similarity the
Sanskrit ego-pronoun aham42 may be correlating to adam and to the creation legend as well.
I interpreted European ego-pronouns such as the singular letter Neapolitan, Norsk and English
vowels i, Wycliffe's Y, the Scottish, Venetian a, the Icelandic e, the Albanian u and the
Danish as deteriorated versions of the long variants like the Provencal ieu, the Jauers' jau, the
Macedonian jac (jas), the Italic iou and the German ih, which in shortened versions are known as
French je, Slavic ja and Italian io or Spanish yo.
These ego-pronouns all seemed to correlate to the creation legend in which a first human being
Adam or Man, had been created as an image yau (the basic ego-pronoun) of the divine creator,
the sky-god Dyaus.
