Pneumnemonic Hebrew for Beginners->PHB: Letter families->PHB: rosh - Revelation family רבת-כ
Rosh ר
The rosh ר was part of the vav - Word Extended Family as a vav ו extended with a horizontal vav on the top. It also starts it's own family. All members of this family are related to the rosh as revelation.
Bet ב
The bet is the revelation to man, indicated by the lower horizontal. The rosh and the lower horizontal are joined at right angles, meaning that there is something less than if they were joined with a curve. It indicates the the revelation is with man, among men and to man.
The word bet בת means house. When drawing the bet say, "He revealed himself to man". [v 1]
Kof כ
The kof כ is drawn like a bet ב but it transitions to the lower vav with a curve, suggesting that the revelation has become man. It represents the Son of God. We spoke of it in contrast to the nun נ which is the Son of Man.
The meaning of kof כף is 'palm of a hand, or cup. In formation it means - The Son of God כ hidden in mystery, riddle, parable, prophecy and/or metaphor ף of his death. [v 2] Jesus asked to have the cup removed. [1] We understand that he was asking to not have to face his death. Now we now more precisely why it means that. The death of the Son of God was hidden in mystery; in the cup. [q 1]
When you draw the kof כ say, "The Son of God". The kof will have a family of it's own.
Tov ת
The tov is drawn as a rosh then finished with a vav spontaneously generated on the bottom left (no connection to the rosh) and the returning in holiness to God up the left side. The meaning is that the revelation completed it's work with a new word (vav) spontaneously returning to God. This is the genuine praise of God by his people.
The meaning of tov is 'mark' or 'record'. [v 3] It is the last letter of the alphabet, but not the last letter of the number sequence. As you draw the tov you can say, "It is finished". [2]
