נ nun

(h. Son of man)

(h. messiah)

The nun appears to be two vavs overlaid. One vav is the word of God from heaven to earth and the other from earth to heaven. The rabbis say that it represents the Messiah. The focal point of the hieroglyph is the vertical bar emphasizing the Word. Christ is the Word of God who reconciled earth to heaven and heaven to earth.

Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

The horizontal bars are not extended. Though we normally say that Jesus was fully God and fully man, the nun suggests that he was also partly God and partly man. This is not a contradiction, but a focus on a different aspect of Christ. We may say that he was partly God because though he was fully God, he limited himself to the dimensions strengths and abilities of a man. And though he was fully man, he limited himself from being made a king in the flesh, taking a wife, having children, or pursuing the good things of the earth. He did not benefit from heaven or earth.
