9 THE EARLY LETTERFORM TETH Teth (also written as Tet or Tēth) is the ninth letter of the Phoenician Alphabet. Its sound is a fricative consonant pronounced with the tip of the tongue against the teeth, much like a t in English. The Teth, which means wheel in Phoenician, was the ancestor of the Greek letter Theta (Θ). There is however no direct Latin equivalent. In the Jewish tradition of gematria, Tet represents the number nine. When followed by an apostrophe, it means 9,000. The most common example of this usage is in the numbers of the Hebrew years. The circular shape of the Teth represents time and change. It is a shape people are often drawn to, a shape that is found repeatedly throughout the natural world, and a symbol of perfection. There are many circular shapes in modern day letterforms, they are the negative spaces through which we gain access to the meaning of words.
