TMYK - Vav

Vav
As the horn [1], the vav ו is a declaration or an announcement.
The doctrine from the stroke or letter vav ו is that God spoke and clarified or explained things by separating two side of the same thing. If the yod י is the void that God created within himself to have a place for the universe, then the vav ו is the first words spoken into the void; the first declaration; the first blowing of the horn; "Let there be light". [2]
Light is a symbol of God's holiness. It is an expression of being separate... being different.
Where was the light before creation? Was God NOT holy before then? In Ge 1:3 he declared himself to be holy to his creation. Prior to creation there was no one to be separate or different from. Though all his attributes were present, attributes of comparison could not be expressed.
We can see a hint of his holiness hidden in his name. His name is Elohim 'elohiym' אלהים but the is a pun 'alo-chuwm' אלחום meaning 'not dark'. He is the light!
The sword
The vav ו looks like a sword, and it represents the word as the two-edged sword. [3]
We can think of the yod י as a generic noun and the vav ו as a generic verb. Since the vav starts with a yod, the action has an actor. God is the first mover.
All the other letter are formed with yods and vavs, and their meaning derive from them.
The nail
The name of the vav is spelled וו and has the meaning 'hook' or 'nail'. From this we discern the doctrine that it was his own word; his own declaration that nailed him to the cross. [4]
Since the name 'vav' has two vavs in it, he declared his intention in heaven and in earth. [5]
