====== Mother Letters ======

[[alef]] - mother over six of the [[aspirated]] variants of the [[double]] letters

[[mem]] - mother over six of the [[muted]] variants of the [[double]] letters and other [[stop|stops]] ([[eyin]], [[tet]], [[qof]])

[[shin]] - mother over the other [[sibilant]] letters ([[zeyin]], [[samek]], [[tsadi]])

There are nine letters remaining:

<wrap :he>רוח אלהים ... נ</wrap>

Two glides/semivowels:  [[yod]], [[vav]]

Two gutturals: [[heh]], [[khet]]

Two nasals: [[mem]], [[nun]]

Two liquids: [[lamed]] and [[resh]].

But, of all the letters, [[resh]] is particularly elusive, as it has traits of a guttural, a double letter, and even somewhat resembling a sibilant (when trilled), a mute/stop (when tapped), or an aspirant when rhotic.
