Phoenician qoph |

Greek
phi |
Φ(φ) |
...
is the 21st letter of the Greek
alphabet ... Its origin is uncertain
but it may be that phi originated as
the letter qoppa ... In traditional
Greek numerals, phi has a value of
500 or 500000 ...
Isaac Taylor,
History of the Alphabet: Semitic
Alphabets, Part 1, 2003: 'The
old explanation, which has again
been revived by Halévy, is that it
denotes an 'ape,' the character Q
being taken to represent an ape with
its tail hanging down. It may also
be referred to a Talmudic root which
would signify an 'aperture' of some
kind, as the 'eye of a needle,' ...
Lenormant adopts the more usual
explanation that the word means a
'knot' ...
... The king, wearing now a short,
stiff archaic mantle, walks in a
grave and stately manner to the
sanctuary of the wolf-god Upwaut,
the 'Opener of the Way', where he
anoints the sacred standard and,
preceded by this, marches to the
palace chapel, into which he
disappears. A period of time elapses
during which the pharaoh is no
longer manifest.
When he reappears he is clothed as
in the Narmer palette, wearing the
kilt with Hathor belt and
bull's tail attatched. In his right
hand he holds the flail scepter and
in his left, instead of the usual
crook of the Good Shepherd, an
object resembling a small scroll,
called the Will, the House Document,
or Secret of the Two Partners, which
he exhibits in triumph, proclaiming
to all in attendance that it was
given him by his dead father
Osiris, in the presence of the
earth-god Geb. 'I have run',
he cries, 'holding the Secret of the
Two Partners, the Will that my
father has given me before Geb.
I have passed through the land and
touched the four sides of it. I
traverse it as I desire.' ... |
...
'Tell us a story!' said the March Hare. 'Yes, please
do!' pleaded Alice. 'And be quick about it', added
the Hatter, 'or you'll be asleep again before it's
done.' 'Once upon a time there were three little
sisters', the Dormouse began in a great hurry: 'and
their names were Elsie [ε], Lacie
[λ], and Tillie
[τ]; and they
lived at the bottom of a well
— '
'What
did they live on?' said Alice, who always took a
great interest in questions of eating and drinking.
'They lived on treacle,' said the Dormouse, after
thinking a minute or two. 'They couldn't have done
that, you know', Alice gently remarked. 'They'd have
been ill.' 'So they were', said the Dormouse; 'very
ill'. Alice tried a little
to fancy herself what such an extraordinary way of
living would be like, but it puzzled her too much:
so she went on : 'But why did they live at the
bottom of a well?'
'Take
some more tea [= t as in duration of time]', the
March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly. 'I've had
nothing yet', Alice replied in an offended tone: 'so
I can't take more [<]'. 'You mean you can't take
less [>]', said the Hatter: 'it's very easy to
take more than nothing'. 'Nobody asked your
opinion', said Alice. 'Who's making personal remarks
now?' the Hatter remarked triumphantly.
Alice
did not quite know what to say to this: so she
helped herself to some tea and bread-and-butter, and
then turned to the Dormouse, and repeated her
question. 'Why did they live at the bottom of a
well?'

The Dormouse again took a minute or two to
think about it, and then said 'It was a
treacle-well.' 'There's no such thing!' Alice was
beginning very angrily, but the Hatter and the March
Hare went 'Sh! Sh!' and the Dormouse sulkily
remarked 'If you ca'n't be civil, you'd better
finish the story for yourself.' 'No, please go on!'
Alice said very humbly. 'I wo'n't interrupt you
again. I dare say there may be one.' 'One,
indeed!' said the Dormouse indignantly. However, he
consented to go on. 'And so these three little
sisters - they were learning to draw, you know —'
'What did they draw?' said Alice, quite forgetting
her promise. 'Treacle', said the Dormouse, without
considering at all, this time.
'I
wan't a clean cup', interrupted the Hatter: 'let's
all move [hop] one place on.' He moved as he spoke, and
the Dormouse followed him: the March Hare moved into
the Dormouse's place, and Alice rather unwillingly
took the place of the March Hare. The Hatter was the
only one who got any advantage from the change; and
Alice was a good deal worse off than before, as the
March Hare had just upsed the milk-jug into his
plate [creating the Milky Way river] ...
