11th Letter: ze

MaRHabaen to the 11th dreamscape.  Can you find the 5 symbols in the Suura?

1) The goal post (with two straight rods sticking up in the air) tell us that this image is about the 11th letter in the Arabic alphabet.  


2) The shape of the Zebra Referee's whistle necklace arching upward toward the whistle between his lips gives us the shape of this letter.  The arch of the letter is the necklace and the dot at the top is the whistle.


3) A zebra is obviously the central icon for the "z" sound isn't it?  


4) Is this letter Dark or Light though?  This is a tricky one, but basically, none of the Dark icons have any white in them.  Since a zebra is half white, this letter is a Light letter.  The animal has to be all Black and Gray to be a Dark icon.  Plus, Light is the default since 18 out of the 28 letters of the alphabet are Light.  The 10 Dark letters are the exceptional cases.  That's why everything is Light unless it's overwhelmingly Dark light the Pirate, the Black Hawk, and the Raccoon.


5) The animals are playing zoo animal football with the Zebra as the referee during the day under the sun, so this is a Solar letter.  Double the "Z" sound over preceding "L"s in a word.


AS A WORD


ez-zei-y(e/u/i)
     -- This is one word with three syllables which are pronounced with "ez" (like in Ezra), "zei" (like in "say" but with "z"), and finally with ye (as in yet), yu (as in you), or yi (with and "i" like the "i" in ski)
     -- The three possible endings ye/yu/yi correspond consecutively to the accusative, nominative, and genitive cases.  Basically that means "e", the elephant is the object/accusative of a sentence that you do things to, poor guy.  You, "u" ending, are the person doing things as the subject (nominative) of a sentence.  Finally all of that ski gear made of ivory is yours/genitive case.


ez-zei-y(e/u/i) means:


I.  dress, garment, apparel, attire, clothing, clothes;
II. costume, suit, uniform
     -- the emphasis is on formal clothing, not regular clothing.  Think of the football uniforms in zoo football in our picture.  Clearly the Zebra is in the appropriate Referee's uniform.  It's EASY!  (ez-zei!)


ez-zei-y(e/u/i) in its three forms:

A-(Object) ez-zei-ye (object of a sentence: <he washed> "the uniform")

B-(Subject) ez-zei-yu (definite subject: "the uniform" <was expensive>) 


C-(Possessed) ez-zei-yi (with prepositions and possessive:  <I admired> "the uniform" <of him>)


If all that didn't stick, don't worry!  This is just a grammar preview.  We will get into the grammar more systematically later.  The point is that the word "ez-zei..." with different endings is uniform.  This is our one and only word made from by using only the zebra "z" consonant and vowels.
