Letter notes
- HYPHEN-MINUS
The symbol "-" is known as a hyphen or dash in modern punctuation. Its linguistic origin dates back to ancient Greece, where it was used as a punctuation mark to connect words or parts of words. In ancient scripts, such as Greek and Latin, it was also utilized as a divider or connector in inscriptions and manuscripts.
Esoterically, the hyphen or dash is often associated with the idea of continuity, connection, and unity. In Kabbalistic teachings, it can symbolize the linking of different aspects of divinity or the union of opposites. Spiritually, it may represent the bridge between the material and spiritual realms or the balance between various forces in the universe.
Throughout history, the hyphen has been used symbolically in various traditions. In alchemical texts, it can signify the blending or transformation of elements. In mystical poetry, it might represent the merging of the individual soul with the divine. In modern typography and graphic design, the hyphen has taken on new symbolic meanings related to hierarchy, structure, and composition.

How the 27-position alphabet value works
The ancient letter-number system uses 27 positions arranged in three groups of nine: 1–9, 10–90, and 100–900.
To compare English letters with this system, Samekhi/Xi is counted as the missing 15th position between N and O. It occupies the value 60 even though it is not present in the modern English alphabet.
Therefore, A–N use positions 1–14, O–Z use positions 16–27, and each letter receives the number belonging to its position. For example, W falls at position 24, giving it a value of 600.
This is a comparative mapping used in this study.
