28th Letter: ye

MaRHabaen to the 28th dreamscape for the final OFFICIAL letter.  Can you find the 5 symbols in the Suura?

1) Because of the return of Saturn for the old Yak (which happens every 28 years) and because it's in a snowy February which has 28 days, we know that this dreamscape illustrates the features of the 28th letter of the Arabic alphabet.

2) With Saturn half visible under the cloud and with the Yak's two bulging eyes staring up at the plant, we can vaguely make out the shape of the letter.  However, there is a better way to visualize this letter with the Yak.  Imagine the Yak has two huge round nose rings sticking out of his nose and he is looking straight at you.  The letter ye has the perfect shape of the two horns sticking out, the nose extending downward, and the two nose rings.  If you want to draw that and email it to me, I'll upload it to this blog entry.

3) The Yak starts with the "y" sound so this is the letter for the "y" sound in Arabic.

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

5) The scene is at night under Saturn light, so this is a Lunar (moon) letter.

AS A WORD

I. yae (like yeah in English), means:

     -- "Oh" as a common preface used before addressing someone.  It sounds Shakespearean in English, but it is very pervasive in Arabic.  You would address the Yak, "Oh, Yak, peace unto you." And the Yak would say, "Oh human, unto you also, peace."  That's fully translated casual how Arabic really sounds in English.
