EMET

[tink]

I found this definition for the word emet on the web today. Dont know how accurate it is, but I thought it was ironic.

EMET is a hebrew word with magical propriety of enlivening lifeless matter. The simple meaning of this word is “the truth“. Great magicians, masters of Qaballah, used to write EMET on creatures made of clay or wood, called Golems. The only way to stop the Golem, to destroy him, was to erase the first letter of the written on his body EMET. Remaining MET ment “dead“.

I wish we could erase the E.. sigh.

Thats interesting[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]


I look at it as meaning a phobia to emesis (emesis means v*). I dont know where they got the "T" in emetophobia.[img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]

Yea I would love to erase the "e" too[img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img][img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img] That would be nice. Maybe someday we can do that!!

Hmmm...as a wordsmith-type I find this fascinating.


I wonder how many of us really are "afraid of truth"?
