There is a peculiar aspect of ‘distinct identity’ to many of the words that begin with ‘P’ — a unique mode of distinction or separation which is difficult to quantify, but has something to do with a high degree of specificity or particularity. We can see the relation to the ‘flipping back and forth’ or ‘cyclic’ aspect of ‘F’ in words like pump or peristalsis and pedal. There is a penetrating sound to the hard pronunciation of this letter, and a quality of ejective intention, somewhat similar to the sound of words beginning with ‘H’. The teachingSpirit implied that the deeper spiritual meanings of ‘P’ have something to do with bread (Latin: panis), spirals, and irrational numbers, particularly Pi and Phi. The majuscule is akin to a ‘B’ with it's lower bubble removed, and the miniscule is essentially a ‘b’ inverted, top-to-bottom, which is interesting due to the similarity of the sounds of ‘B’ and ’P’ — both of which are made with plosive activity of the lips. This letter is effectively identical to the Greek letter Rho, which has the sound of ‘R’. The shape is reminscent of the shepherd’s staff, or ‘crook’ — a symbol of divine relation which the Pharaohs of Egypt held, alongside the ‘flail’. Lastly it is sometimes associated with a person, standing.
