 +  * Our first two words, **’av** and **’em**, and their more common modern forms (borrowed from Aramaic), **’abba** and **’ima**.
 +
 +  * How the symbolism of mem (water) could represent our physical source and place of origin, and that of bet (house) relating to the house we dwell in for protection as a child, possible reasons these pictographs would have been selected for the simplest words ’av and ’em.
