When drawing the lamed a yod extending to a vav begins above the upper horizontal to a point below the upper horizontal. the The lower section in a small kaf (Son of God) which takes a turn into the grave.  From the heart of the Father (above the line) what can be known of God (upper horizontal) is brought closer to man (lower position). The lamed represents teaching. God makes what can be known about him more accessible. The primary topic is the cross.
