This symbols of this alphabet are each related to a particular
genius. The phonetic values of the characters are derived from
the names of the genii. There is a geomantic symbol related to
each genius, as shown in the image above. For ease of use, these
geomantic symbols are included as characters in the font.
Numerical Values of the Hebrew and Greek
The letters Digamma, Stigma (or Episemon Vau), Koppa and
Sampi are early letters which became obsolete, but continued
to be used as numerals. Koppa has two written forms, the choice
of which seems to come down to fashion. The lower case Beta
and Sigma in parentheses are finals. The lower case Theta, Pi
and Phi in parentheses are simply variations on the common
letter forms, and are modernly used as technical symbols.
Digamma and Stigma seem to have been phonetically identical,
both thought to make a "w" sound. To add to the confusion,
Stigma was also sometimes referred to as "The Digamma".
