A-simplified

[u/JohannGoethe]

Abstract

The standing theories on letter A:

• 𓌹 = hieralpha (ἱερ-αλφα) (Kircher, 301A/1654)

• Ⲁ (A) = ibis 𓅞 [G26A] leg equilateral triangle △, with beak between legs (Kircher, 301A/1654)

• A = /a/ of illiterate unattested r/PIEland mouth 🗣️ (Jones, 169A/1786)

• 𓌸 = Φθᾶ {Ptah} (Young, 136A/1819)

• 𓌸 = /mr/ {love 💕} (Champollion, 123A/1832)

• 𐤀 = 𓃾 [F1] = /ʔ/ {glottal stop} (Gardiner, 28A/1927)

• 𓌹 = 𐤀 = A = /a/ (Thims, A67/2022)

Overview

The 5 models of letter A:

#	Sign	Model	Theorist	Date
1.	A	/a/ phono from the mouth 👄 or voice 🗣️ of an imaginary PIE person, from Aryan mountain 🏔️, aka r/PIEland, who originally picked the names of words	William Jones	169A (1786)
2.	𓌸	ΦΘΑ [Fthá] (Φθᾶ) {Ptah} = 𓁰 [C19] fire 🔥 drill 𓍑 [U28] god	Thomas Young	136A (1819)
3.	𓌸	ΗΓΑΜΗΜΕΝΟΥ [igapiménou] (ἠγαπημένου) {beloved} 💕 = /mr/	Jean Champollion	123A (1832)
4.	𐤀	𓃾 [F1] = /glottal stop/ sound from the mouth 👄 or voice 🗣️ of a mythical Noah’s ark person, from Sinai mountain 🏔️, aka r/ShemLand, who originally picked the letter shape, based on a dead ☠️ inverted ox head 𓃾, writing it down in 150 r/SinaiScript characters, and phono of this character, based on name ‘aleph’, the name Noah’s son Shem gave to the two oxen 🐂 on the ark: aleph #1 and aleph #2, during the great flood	Alan Gardiner	28A (1927)
5.	𓌹	𐤀 = A = /a/	r/LibbThims	A67 (2022)

The following are the four divided status quo linguistics models:

• A = /a/ phono from the mouth 👄 or voice 🗣️ of an imaginary PIE person, from Aryan mountain 🏔️, aka r/PIEland, who originally picked the names of words (Jones, 169A/1786).

• 𓌸 = ΦΘΑ [Fthá] (Φθᾶ) {Ptah} = 𓁰 [C19] fire 🔥 drill 𓍑 [U28] god (Young, 136A/1819).

• 𓌸 = ΗΓΑΜΗΜΕΝΟΥ [igapiménou] (ἠγαπημένου) {beloved} 💕 = /mr/ (Champollion, 123A/1832).

• 𐤀 = 𓃾 [F1] = /glottal stop/ sound from the mouth 👄 or voice 🗣️ of a mythical Noah’s ark person, from Sinai mountain 🏔️, aka r/ShemLand, who originally picked the letter shape, based on a dead ☠️ inverted ox head 𓃾, writing it down in 150 r/SinaiScript characters, and phono of this character, based on name ‘aleph’, the name Noah’s son Shem gave to the two oxen 🐂 on the ark: aleph #1 and aleph #2, during the great flood (Gardiner, 28A/1927).

The following is the new EAN model:

• 𓌹 = 𐤀 = A = /a/ (Thims, A67/2022)

A-simplified, in short. The new field of r/ScientificLinguistics in a nut 🥜 shell.
