25th Letter: nuun

MaRHabaen to the 25th dreamscape.  Can you find the 5 symbols in the Suura?




1) A quarter is 25 cents so this dreamscape gives us the 25th letter of the Arabic alphabet.


2) The shape of the round quarter in and above the open beak outlines the shape of the letter nuun for us.


3) Since this bird is the nutcracker bird, we know that the sound of this letter is "n" as in nutcracker.


4) The bird is not black, so this a light letter.


5) It's a sunny day in the picture, so this is a Solar (Sun) letter.


AS A WORD


I.  neu' (like neh-w', or like our word "now" in some dialects)
     -- rain
II. nei' (like a horse's neigh)
     -- uncooked, raw


Imagine a horse comes into the picture and neighs at the nutcracker telling him that his problem is that the quarter is raw, that's why he can't crack it.  If you don't cook it NOW, he says, it's going to rain on you before you finish eating it.
